Airspace congestion, fuel costs, and environmental pollution are a few significant reasons due to which aviation has become difficult. These challenges are due to the unprecedented increase in air traffic. The advent of wireless ad-hoc networks has given rise to a particular category of an ad-hoc network, the Aircraft Ad-Hoc Network (AANET). Such a network is formed spontaneously in the air with aircraft as the networking nodes. With the development of smart air transportation systems, various new applications for transportation safety, efficiency as well as for providing onboard facilities to the passengers are required. Therefore, a flexible and innovative networking architecture is required for AANET. This paper proposes a Software Defined Aircraft Ad-Hoc Network (SDAANET). Combining the latest networking architecture Software Defined Network (SDN) with AANET leverages all the benefits provided by SDN.
