Very shortly aeronautical satellite communications will be introduced on a world-wide basis. By the end of the year voice communications (both to the cabin and the cockpit) and packet data communications will be available to both airlines and executive aircraft. During the decade following the introduction of the system there will be many enhancements and developments which will increase the range of applications, expand the potential number of users, and reduce costs. This paper presents a number of ways in which the system is expected to evolve over this period. Among the issues which are covered are the impact of spot beam satellites; spectrum and power conservation techniques, and the expanding range of user services.
