Just read an article about uncrewed flights and thought I'd check out what fellow ppruners had to say on the subject (there HAD to be a thread on this ...and obviously there is
)
I'm sure that there is currently no problem for trains/trams (i.e. any other means of transport on rails) to be completely automated however they are still manned. So why should it be different for a/c? Especially when flying is so much more complex than traintravel.
I think, as other have said before, that it will be a long time before the public is willing to enter a uncrewed a/c. And even MORE so should the "pilot" be controlling the aircraft from the ground ("What?I'm supposed to get on a plane that not even the pilot trusts?!")....
