Planemakers look to pilotless future

Every commercial flight traditionally requires two pilots in the cockpit, but some aircraft manufacturers are currently working on cockpit designs that could potentially reduce the pilot count, or even eliminate the need for pilots entirely.

Thus far, airlines have largely remained silent on this matter, but pilot unions around the world are becoming increasingly vocal, expressing concerns that having fewer than two pilots could compromise safety, Politico reported.

This concept is most actively being explored in Europe, with French manufacturers Airbus and Dassault advocating for aviation regulators to consider allowing long-haul passenger planes to operate with just one pilot in the cockpit for the majority of the flight.
