A new autopilot will make another 9/11 impossible. How 'AutoLand' will work.

A hijack-proof piloting system for airliners is being developed to prevent terrorists repeating the 9/11 outrages. The mechanism is designed to make it impossible to crash the aircraft into air or land targets - and enable the plane to be flown by remote control from the ground in the event of an emergency.

The hijackers will now hijack the control room
