The U.10 was designed so it could be flown either manually (for ferry flights), by the autopilot via the pilot's supervisory control panel (for autopilot check flights), or by the autopilot via ground radio control (as an unmanned target). The aircraft had a single navigator's position in rear cabin for ferry flights, the right hand side of which was occupied by elements of the autopilot system (gyros etc). The radio control system was accommodated in a large crate slung in the bomb bay. Autopilot control was via electrically-driven servomotors.
