AviateX

Abstract

This thesis presents the design and development of AviateX, an interactive educational mobile application aimed at improving the learning experience of aircraft maintenance students. AviateX is designed to provide a more engaging and accessible approach to understanding complex aircraft systems, bridging the gap between traditional classroom methods and modern digital learning. Conventional teaching techniques in aviation education often rely heavily on textbooks, static diagrams, and lectures, which can limit students' ability to fully grasp system operations and technical concepts. Moreover, limited access to real aircraft components further hampers practical understanding. Recognizing this challenge, AviateX was developed to offer a dynamic and immersive learning experience through digital innovation. The app includes interactive modules, animated diagrams, system walkthroughs, quizzes, and technical notes to support self-paced learning. Features such as 3D illustrations and simulation-based visuals help users visualize system operations more effectively. AviateX is also aligned with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4 – Quality Education, by promoting inclusive, equitable, and technology-driven learning opportunities for students in technical fields. Throughout its development, AviateX was refined based on user feedback, ensuring usability, accuracy, and educational effectiveness. This project not only demonstrates the potential of digital tools in aviation education but also contributes to the future of tech-based learning in aircraft maintenance programs.
