Self-Flying Planes Are Coming, but Can Autonomous Aircraft Really Replace Pilots?
Autonomous aircraft are moving beyond drones as companies develop self-flying planes for farming, cargo and eventually passenger travel, but safety and regulation remain major obstacles.
One of the companies at the forefront of the technology is Pyka, a California-based aerospace startup developing autonomous aircraft without traditional cockpits. Its planes are already being used for agricultural work in Brazil, where aircraft can fly extremely low over crops to spray fields. According to Pyka flight-test engineer Russ Marotzke, removing a pilot allows the aircraft to operate at lower altitudes than a human-operated plane might safely fly, helping reduce chemical drift and potentially lowering the quantity of pesticides required. The aircraft can follow computer-generated routes, monitor its surroundings and return for refueling or battery replacement before continuing the mission. This makes agricultural aviation an attractive early market because the work is repetitive, highly structured and can be dangerous for human pilots.
