Autonomous flights are one step closer to reality
A range of companies, from such aerospace giants as Boeing and Airbus to tiny startups, are working on various aspects of a difficult puzzle: how to create the next generation of air travel—one whose pilots are far less ubiquitous and new flying vehicles communicate with each other. More important, how is that world to be as safe as the one we’re in now? “It is not as complicated as it sounds,” said a VP of M2C Aerospace, a startup working to build a flight system for single-pilot commercial aircraft operations.
