The end of the pilots era. Autonomous passenger Airbus has already completed 500 successful flights

Its implementation will be helped by a pandemic, which for many weeks has grounded tens of thousands of aircraft and led to losses of billions of dollars among global carriers.

Experts observing the development of the aviation industry on a daily basis believe that the latest technologies will allow airlines to recover from the crisis, but at the expense of employees.

AI or robot pilots technologies.

Airbus has just completed a series of tests of its system, which will allow scheduled flights without the participation of pilots. The modified version of the A350-1000 XWB already has 500 successful take-offs, flights and landings.

The system is mainly based on cameras, environmental visual identification technology and machine learning.

After this number of successful flights, the plane made another series, during which it was checked whether the ATTOL system was already experienced enough to fly without pilots.

It turned out so, and Airbus is creating such a system for its fleet of aircraft for a reason.

Carriers want to reduce the cost of cruises as much as possible, especially in times of the CoVID-19 pandemic.

Customers think similarly.

If you can choose to fly with a pilot for a higher ticket price or with a computer for a lower ticket, they will definitely choose the cheaper option.

In a few decades, no one will hear about human pilots and crew members aboard airliners.
