| Oct 29, 2016 at 7:51 | comment | added | RealAnswersNotAI | @Zeus If it were only possible to answer this question with speculation and not fact-supported predictions the question should be closed as "opinion based". This is a fact-based site, not a discussion board. As such even futuristic claims should be backed with information like advances being made in similar industries, advances in the last decade towards the prediction, industry leaders' opinion, and notable R&D projects. This answer could cite any of those (besides an unexplained link to a NOVA video) and so would be much more convincing. | |
| Oct 28, 2016 at 9:15 | comment | added | Peter | A lot of numbers, without proves. You claim that pilots are causing 63% delays and weather as example? That doesn't make sense. Furthermore your missing the wishes of the passengers and regulations. US Airways 1549 is a good example for a situation where an computer will likely rely on pure failsafe-code or even don't believe on a two-engine-out-scenario without a technial reason. And you cannot predict what an AI would do, including sacrifice passengers for habitants or vice versa. Good example for what an pilot is good for is also LH 1829: avherald.com/h?article=47d74074/0000&opt=0 | |
| Oct 28, 2016 at 2:35 | comment | added | Zeus | But @Cody, what evidence do you expect about future events? It's bound to be an opinion. The question is hypothetical: could they? and this answer is: they could, perhaps, and even likely. | |
| Oct 28, 2016 at 1:37 | comment | added | RealAnswersNotAI | This answer makes some very bold claims without much evidence, like that unmanned pilot technology will likely be deployed on airliners in 20-25 years, that a pivotal near miss will hasten the adoption, and that AI will eventually replace virtually all pilots. If you want this to be the accepted answer, please provide evidence or citations for such extraordinary claims. For expected levels of evidence see meta.aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/333/… | |
| Oct 28, 2016 at 1:08 | comment | added | Terry | @DanielChung A robotic fighter aircraft going head to head with a manned aircraft has a significant advantage in that it can maneuver at much higher G loads than a human pilot can withstand. | |
| Oct 27, 2016 at 23:45 | comment | added | Romeo_4808N | Depends on how sophisticated one can write the algorithms to control this. If you watch that NOVA program I referenced, you will see that such things are under development. In some ways an AI could have a major advantage over piloted aircraft in a merge as they have far more precision in their timing in maneuvers and often the first turning maneuvers can mean the difference between victory and defeat. | |
| Oct 27, 2016 at 23:35 | comment | added | Daniel Chung | Thanks, but how can robot planes fight head to head with human piloted planes. The sky is 3D, up down left right, missiles guns and weather changes, stall, observations and more. | |
