ABSTRACT - A notion called "airborne internet" applies computer network theory and ideas to the field of transportation. Enabling a multi-purpose, all-purpose data channel for individuals traveling is the aim in order to establishinformationconnectivity. Theidea is togiveaircraft access to a high-speed, all-purpose digital network. By allowing the unification of numerous operations into a single data channel, it can do this and potentially save the FAA and aircraft operators a significant amount of money. One data channel can be used by many applications. The fact that it functions similarly to the actual internet gives it its name.
Key Words: Wi-Fi,Flight, floating on Air, modem, Internet, Satellite.
1. INTRODUCTION
Anenvisionednetworkforuseinaircraftcommunications, navigation,andsurveillanceiscalledtheAirborneInternet (CNS).TheairborneInternet,commonlyreferredtoasAI,isa communication network that is intended to incorporate nodes,pointsofcontact,orinteractivityonvariousaircraft kinds.
The commercial Internet's technology is also used by the Airborne Internet, a peer-to-peer, private, secure, and dependable aircraft communications network.

1.2 SCOPE
AngelTechnologiesisdevelopinganaerialInternetnetwork dubbedHighAltitudeLongOperation(HALO),whichwould employ light aircraft to fly overhead and offer businesses quicker data transfer than a T1 connection. Customers wouldhavea connectionsimilartoDSL.Asolar-powered, unmanned aircraft that functions similarly to the HALO network isbeing developed byAeroVironmentandNASA, whileSkyStationInternationalispreparingaprojectalong theselinesthatwilluseblimpsratherthanairplanes.
2. EXISTING SYSTEM
Atthemoment,landcablesareusedfornetworkorinternet connectivity.The data transmitted by land-based cables is restrictedintermsofphysicalcapacity;theamountofdata they can carry is determined by the cable's width. The physical limits on data transmission are absent from the aviationinternet.
While airborne internet is a network in the air, current internet services are provided by installing cables underground, which requires labor-intensive earth excavation.

Disadvantages:
ThesignalstrengthofWi-Fi(WirelessFidelity)will be weaker when it goes past a metal barrier, a concretewall,oracelling.
A company's budget will increase if extra access pointsneedtobeboughtandmountedonthewalls in order to connect tens of meters away from the Wi-Firouter,whichcanonlycoverafewmeters.
3. PLANNED SYSTEM:
Ourslowmodemsarebeingoverloadedwiththeamountof data we need to send and receive these days, including images, videos, and audio files. In order to boost their bandwidth, a lot of Internet users are moving to cable modemsanddigitalsubscriberlines(DSLs).Anovelservice category is now under development that aims to elevate broadbandtoahigherlevel.
This figure illustrates how a high-speed wireless Internet connection will be made possible via the HALO Network.

It will be necessary for customers to install an antenna at their residence or place of business in order to receive signals from the network hub overhead.
Additionally, existing Internet service providers (ISPs) will collaboratewith thenetworks,lending theirhigh-capacityterminalsfornetworkuse.
5. WHY AIRBORNE INTERNET?
ThecreationoftheAirborneInternetcan beattributed to twokeyfactors.They're:

9. ADVANTAGES OF AIRBORNE INTERNET
Smallnumberofmovingpartsmeanslow maintenancecosts.
High degrees of redundancy (for example, an airplane can lose several motors and still land safely; most failure modes don't call for a quick responsefromthegroundoperator)
Apart from the time delay, the functioning of the airborneInternetwillbesimilartothatofsatellitebasedInternetaccess.SatelliteandaircraftInternet connectivity usually have the same bandwidth, however because aircraft Internet is lower in the atmosphere,datatransmissiontimesarefaster.A few hundred miles above Earth is the orbit of a satellite.Ataheightofbetween52,000and69,000 feet(15,849and21,031meters),theaerialInternet aircraft will fly in a circle above the ground. The aircraft will be flying considerably above commercial air traffic at this level, untouched by badweather.
Ifnetworkconnectivitywasavailable,peoplecould use their time in travel for more productive activities.

11. CONCLUSION
For aviation services like traffic management and craft surveillance, among others, aircraft internet is incredibly useful. At extremely high altitudes, it enables web connectivity for travelers in aircraft. Dedicated ships stationed within the oceans to function as base stations (BSs) will be connected to the web via already-deployed underwater cables. Compared to the previously planned options,theprojectedresolutionisbetterbecauseitavoids usingcostlyandslowsatellitelinks.
Therefore, this aerial internet technology has many applicationsinthefieldofaviationservices,suchasweather updates,aircrafttracking,andairtrafficcontrol.Italsogives passengers the chance to access the internet at extremely high altitudes, i.e., in aeroplanes, and other traditional services. Hence, creating a network in the air to establish connectivityisyetanothernewtrendinourmobileera.
