An aircraft comprising an aircraft transceiver to transfer data to and from the aircraft by free-space-optical communication when parked. The aircraft transceiver comprises a transmitter to generate outgoing light carrying aircraft-to-ground data; a lens to collimate the outgoing light to generate a collimated beam; a beam steering device to transform the collimated beam to generate a steered beam; a control system to operate the beam steering device to adjust an angle of the steered beam; and a receiver to sense incoming light carrying ground-to-aircraft data. The receiver receives the incoming light via the beam steering device and the lens. Also a vehicle with a similar transceiver to transfer data to and from a parked aircraft by free-space-optical communication.
