on an xbox controller, i was flying a plane for the first time ever. sure, i was just controlling the direction and the altitude but it was a lot of fun. they even let me go as far as a 45 degree tilt. aeroplanes have been equipped with autopilot systems for years already but the system xwing has developed takes that to the next level. if i was just a passenger in this plane, i would have never known it was being flown autonomously. the ride, take off and landing were as smooth as any other flight i ve been on. what makes this possible is the control room. the goal is to eventually have one person overseeing a fleet of flights and sending instructions from control to the computers flying the planes. this plane took its first autonomous flight in december 2019 and since then, xwing has been building up the capabilities of the system. right now, they are planning to use the system to transport cargo. the next step is to fly commercially unmanned so no one aboard the aircraft, but over un
right now, they are planning to use the system to transport cargo. the next step is to fly commercially unmanned so no one aboard the aircraft, but over unpopulated areas so you re not putting anybody s life in jeopardy or anybody on the ground in jeopardy. the company also sees this as a way to make the process more cost effective. it s uncharted territory, but to make it even this far has proved to the federal aviation authority it is possible and more importantly safe. i ve always wanted to get a pilot s licence, but maybe tech like this means i won t ever need to. but it s still likely a ways off before we see widespread adaptation and faa approval of unmanned aircrafts.
