صفحة جيدة في تاريخ الطيران : طيارات ركاب بدون طيار !!!

Quote: AN unmanned plane has flown in British airspace for the first time — paving the way for pilotless passenger flights. The BAE Jetstream executive craft travelled 300 miles from Warton, Lancs, to Inverness in Scotland. A ground-based pilot manoeuvred the plane using a computer. Two pilots were on board for take-off and landing but the rest of the trip, at 20,000ft, was directed by the expert at Warton and monitored by air traffic controllers. Lambert Dopping-Hepenstal, a BAE director on the £62million project, said: “We are writing a new chapter in aviation history. Unmanned aircraft are likely to become a part of everyday life in the near future.”
