Testing unmanned aerial vehicle

A UK-based consortium will test the full range of passenger automobiles in the coming months.

Now many civilian aircraft have the ability to take off, fly to the destination and land without human intervention. However, pilots are still sitting in their compartments as they move. Experts predict that the next generation of non-pilot civilian aircraft will be launched in the near future.

ASTRAEA, a consortium set up by the British government and seven airlines, will conduct next-generation passenger aircraft tests from December. The company's engineers have adopted the technology of aircraft manufacturing. military automation to manufacture unmanned aerial vehicles. Aircraft - with two engines and remotely - will fly from Warton Airport, Lancashire, England and move towards Scotland, The Economist reported.

Unmanned aerial vehicles will be able to detect and avoid aircraft moving through its flight path. Finding large planes is relatively easy, but finding small planes is a big challenge. So the aircraft will be equipped with a warning system for other flying objects in its presence with parameters such as altitude and speed. In case the aircraft can not receive the signal from the control center, the computer system of the aircraft will automatically control it.

ASTRAEA expects the next generation of passenger airplanes to help airlines significantly reduce the cost of operating aircraft and ensure the safety of pilots in dangerous but necessary flights.
