So, Koreans are so afraid of their own airline captains they want to replace them with robots? <sarcasm>
This will probably be about 50 years down the road. After observing the robot fly in the video demonstration, it has a lot to learn, like a regular student pilot. It'll have to learn IFR and how do emergency procedures and crosswinds, and many more. So All you future ATP pilots out there, relax, you'll get to fly your big boys:) Very cool though to see how technology is evolving
Kind of a senseless but neat idea. The real issue though is going to be figuring out how to "power" the pilot through the aircraft systems instead of with coffee and doughnuts.
Neat but not practical.
LOL... This is funny... So now we have computers who cannot think for themselves who will be controlling other computers that can't control themselves to safely fly passengers... What do we do when one of these pops a CB.
can we say CRASH????????
We can say it, and I bet they can do it...
