Abstract
An in-flight aircraft tracking system may include a power transmission line suspended in the air and a radio frequency identification (RFID) reader configured to identify an aircraft in proximity to the power transmission line. A traffic control system may be configured to coordinate movement of multiple aircrafts in proximity to the power transmission line. An in-flight aircraft tracking method may include transmitting a reader signal from a RFID reader to an aircraft while the aircraft is in proximity to a power transmission line and receiving an identification signal in response to the reader signal from an RFID transmitter coupled to the aircraft.
