Will B747 be obsolete in 20 years?
To any 747 pilot or experience/knowledgable person :
Just wondering, will the B747 be obsolete in the next 15-20 years or not? (becuase of all the new AIR BUS coming out and the research on MACH 8 flight that NASA is doing, and won't computer AI be smart enough to be autopilot all the way without the need of a actual pilot?) I like the B747 very much and would hate to see it go bye bye, but technology changes everything so I guess my querstion is will pilots be obsolete or even the current Boeing jets themselves? Thanks!
