This Aircraft Just Made A Historic Flight & No One Was Flying It

A modified Cessna Caravan recently completed an unprecedented flight spanning 3,199 miles throughout the United States. The aircraft achieved this remarkable distance without any manual input from a safety pilot during the journey. This historic flight was conducted solely through autonomous operation utilizing artificial intelligence. Specifically, the AI system managed all control inputs for the entire duration of the trip. Engineers at Volocopter are continuing to refine and test the technology following this successful demonstration in Nevada.
