Aviation (both manned and unmanned) offers many novel application scenarios for 5th and 6th (XG) generation mobile networks. For drones (Unmanned Aircraft), navigation in challenging environments, such as urban with tall buildings with GNSS satellite position is problematic. XG could offer positioning as a free add-on thanks to advanced radio techniques such as beam-forming. Therefore, it could provide energy-efficient positioning service for UAs. Furthermore, drones could be used as portable base stations or relay points to rapidly deploy a network, for example in natural disaster environment. With proper signal direction, XG base stations can also provide Internet connectivity to passengers and planes over ground, to save expensive satellite communications. It could be even possible for messages to cross oceans with hop-by-hop data relay between airplanes. Finally, aviation itself includes the need for data exchange between pilots, controllers and plane manufacturers. Current air traffic communication systems are very slow, unreliable and suffer from a complete lack of security. Therefore, XG could be an excellent replacement by providing ultra-reliable and authenticated data exchange in critical scenarios, such as pilot and plane communication during landing. In this paper, we perform a literature survey to explore possible XG scenarios for aviation, with special focus on security.
