I want a turn key solution. Just like in my car. I turn the key and the bloody thing starts up and is ready to fly. No need for hundreds of boring checks, all that could be automated in todays highly integrated systems, one should think.
Well FADEC is certainly a step in the right direction, but the reality is that in 20 years, most of us will probably still be flying machines that require 35 switches and buttons to be pressed in the right order just to get them going, and that burn down if you accidentally press them in the wrong order. And after that we'll all be replaced by drones anyhow...
