Remote Controlled Flying of Modern Airliner?
I'm sorry if this is not the right forum for this question. In another forum, it has been stated that a Boeing 737NG, for example, could be flown and landed remotely from the ground in the event of a hypothetical flight crew emergency. Is this at all possible?
Thanks. |
No, it is not possible.
|
Certainly not all variants/equipage...but...
"Could" is your question...and "at all possible" So the answer is yes. |
Certainly not all variants/equipage...but... Could one be built with existing technology? sure! Does one exist? No. |
Actually, it has been done...
|
Would you say that it has been done experimentally with a specially equipped aircraft but there is not enough interest to justify developing it further?
|
It hasn't been done
I have looked in to this extensively, I found no evidence of any jetliner being controlled remotely, however I stand to be corrected

enough said.

You can put servos in to push and pull on primary controls, but it's the levers, switches and years of experience and seat of the pants feel you simply cannot engineer into an R/C system.
Yet. |
RNP transition to a GBAS CAT III 0/0 autoland, autobrakes, auto reverse...
not much needed at all.... |
