Autonomous Flight
Autonomous flight refers to the ability of an aircraft to operate without direct human control. This technology uses advanced systems, including sensors, cameras, and artificial intelligence, to navigate and make decisions in real-time. Autonomous flight can enhance safety, reduce human error, and improve efficiency in various applications, such as commercial aviation and cargo transport.
Drones are a common example of autonomous flight, often used for tasks like aerial photography, surveying, and delivery services. Companies like Amazon and Google are exploring autonomous flight for package delivery, while NASA is researching its potential for urban air mobility.
