Get real
Pilotless aircraft? – of course. It’s the future of air warfare.
Pilotless airliners? – never.
The R&D would be immense and take years – who would pay for it? Not the airlines.
The certification process would be a thousand times more rigorous than for piloted aircraft and take years – who would pay for it? Not the airlines.
Who would be the first airline to operate a pilotless aircraft and what would be their selling point?
If a pilotless airline operated a route in competition with conventional aircraft, who would fly them? Would you?
And all for what? ‘Pilotless’ aircraft still need pilots, they just happen to be sitting on the ground. Savings would amount to some hotel expenses and other allowances.
