Researchers installed a laser-optical transmission and receiver system into the Dornier 228 aircraft, which during the flights acted a mobile node in a quantum network and established a connection to a ground station. The flight experiment took place as part of the QuNET initiative, aimed at developing quantum-secure communication.
