Autonomous flight would be the game changer. The problem with small planes is that you're splitting the pilot & FO salaries across fewer people. If you're not doing that then 20 person flights become a lot more economical.
- jfim 3y agoPlanes could be flown autonomously, as they have all of the systems to fly and land automatically. The problem is mostly about what to do if for some reason the autoland system can't work, if there are sensors that are malfunctioning, conditions aren't nominal and some non standard corrections need to be done, etc.
