One issue that has yet to be fully explained is how pilotless aircraft will integrate into the Air Traffic Management system. Will they operate alongside current "conventional" aircraft, or will they have their own airspace? Will air traffic control be able to contact these pilotless aircraft? Will they be following a pre-defined flight plan or will they be remotely piloted?
