Air Force Studies Autonomous Cargo Jets.
The Air Force has awarded a contract to Silicon Valley firm Reliable Robotics to study the feasibility of flying its biggest iron autonomously. The company will look at whether it makes sense to fly multi-engine jet cargo planes from gate to gate with a remote pilot monitoring from the ground.

Not the appropriate application of remote tech in this scenario.
Sigh. More AI.
As another squawk noted, an airline who trusted the machines too much had 2 incidents on the same day because of it, but managed to self-correct.
One thought I had after reflecting on how it _might_ help solve any Pilot shortage crisis is a convo I had with a senior flight attendant who stated quite confidently that they could fly the aircraft they worked on because they had seen how to set/operate FMC etc. so many times/for so long. Maybe they need some training to be able to “sanity check” (and possibly operate) as required if the in-flight and on-ground systems fail/glitch? This is about safety, right?

Why not? 40% if AF missions are flown by drones already. It will happen.
Nothing to worry about here, nothing to worry about here, nothdbt 2 wory abut her, .... crunch!
What’s funny is that some of you seem completely oblivious to how Predators operate.
Bad, bad idea. I have literally thousands of hours instructing in multi-million-dollar flight simulators which have the latest technology, and their software is still full of bugs.
