With several firms, including Boeing, working on self-flying planes, it's only a matter of time before the technology takes to the skies, according to a new report. In the report, experts claim that much of the pilot's job has already been automated, and ditching the pilot altogether could actually lead to safer flights. Despite this, only one in six passengers say they would feel comfortable in a fully automated plane. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-4972734/Self-flying-PLANES-begin-testing-2018.html Lalasticlala, Mynd44 1 Like

Jetliners can already take off, cruise and land using their onboard flight computers and the number of pilots on a standard passenger plane has dropped to two from three over the years. In recent years, there have been several devastating air crashes many of which were found to have been caused in part by the pilot. And experts believe that improved automation could have helped to avert at least some of these disasters. On an average flight, the pilots manually control the plane for about three to six minutes, and the rest is autopiloted. But despite this, a recent report found that only one in six passengers would feel comfortable in a fully automated plane. Professor Ella Atkins, an expert in aerospace engineering at the University of Michigan, said: 'You're looking at very simple calculations.'Automated systems can use algorithms to determine if, for example, a plane is flying too low 'and if the answer is yes, then the automation can and should stop that accident from happening,' according to Professor Atkins. Despite this, Professor Rice believes that there are several questions to be answered before self-flying planes take the sky including who would deal with medical emergencies, and whether the system could be hacked. He added: 'Human beings don't like new things. 'They're afraid, and they let that fear make their decisions for them. But if you give them a good safety track record, then they'll come around.' 2 Likes 1 Share
