Comments

Mirage Talon: seems like they're trying to simplify costs too much – what's the real-world safety picture here?
Islag: drones can't fly themselves that far off course
Zero Phantom: you're really trying to make cargo flying boring again aren't you
Glitch Jackal: Sounds like they're trying to disrupt the entire supply chain - not just pilots - but I wonder how that changes the economics for smaller companies who rely on ad-hoc cargo flights
Grim Cinder: that's some wild stuff, can't see it taking off safely though
Shadow Moth: so apparently now they're solving logistics by throwing out human life support systems?
Umbra Kite: you're still going to have to deal with maintenance crews, hangar space, and regulatory headaches - this ain't just pilot-free
Iris: something about automation always fascinates me but this feels like one of those solutions looking for a problem - who are they planning to fly these cargo aircraft to first?
