A CALIFORNIA company recently reported the successful unmanned flight of a small cargo plane, reports Fox Business.
Reliable Robotics, a manufacturer of aircraft automation systems, declared that last month's autonomous flight of a Cessna 208B Caravan without a human pilot marked a pioneering milestone in the aviation industry.
During this event, a remote pilot supervised the pilot-less aircraft from Reliable's control centre located 50 miles away.
According to the Mountain View-based company, this accomplishment is part of their ongoing efforts to introduce advanced safety-enhancing technologies to the US aviation market.
'This monumental aviation achievement is a great example of how AFWERX accelerates agile and affordable capability transitions for the air force,' said AFWERX director Elliott Leigh.
'This milestone accelerates dual-use un-crewed flight opportunities, increasing aviation safety and enabling us to bring a broad range of autonomous military capabilities into denied environments.'
