Jay Sawyer from Glenview, IL Explains how Pilotless Planes will help Airlines

According to Sawyer, there are benefits of unmanned operations that include no complexity and upfront cost associated with the development of new unmanned vehicles. With more refined AI, self-flying aircraft could be taking off sooner than you think. Moreover, the majority of savings come from pilot salaries which currently cost the aviation industry over $34 billion each year. Jay Sawyer from Glenview, IL states that the rise of self-flying planes would reduce the need for pilots from as many as five per plane to just two or three. This will save airline money.

  1. Jay Sawyer from Glenview, IL Explains how Pilotless Planes will help Airlines

  2. Jay Sawyer from Glenview, IL Shares the Future of Pilotless Planes • Jay Sawyer from Glenview, IL comes up with a study that includes Airbus’ interview with The Associated Press • In this interview, the company shared about its goal to sell hybrid and electric passenger jets by 2035 • Airbus revealed plans to develop a plane with flapping wings to help reduce turbulence and an even crazier idea could be taking to the skies: self-flying planes

  3. It’s Worth converting a General Aviation Aircraft into an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle • According to Sawyer, there are benefits of unmanned operations that include no complexity and upfront cost associated with the development of new unmanned vehicles • With more refined AI, self-flying aircraft could be taking off sooner than you think • Moreover, the majority of savings come from pilot salaries which currently cost the aviation industry over $34 billion each year

  4. Various Studies reveal that Autonomous Aircraft will help Airlines • Jay Sawyer from Glenview, IL states that the rise of self-flying planes would reduce the need for pilots from as many as five per plane to just two or three • This will not only save airline money, but also addresses the current shortage of qualified pilots throughout the world • By removing the pilots, fears over the pilot error can be quelled • Sawyer went through various studies and states that the self-flying planes are more beneficial than manually controlled planes due to the threat of pilot error being removed

  5. Pilotless Planes are a Solution to the Shortage of Pilots and Radical Changes to Aircraft Designs • With a six-fold increase in flights by 2050, aviation industry needs a solution to the shortage of pilots and radical changes to aircraft design • However, at least for the foreseeable future, pilots can be removed from the planes altogether • The self-flying planes require a limited pilot presence in the cockpit to track shifts in wind and weather and check fuel consumption
