In summary, a pilot less aircraft, or autonomous aircraft, is an unmanned aircraft that can fly and navigate without a human pilot on board. It uses sensors, GPS, and advanced computer systems to make decisions and can receive instructions from a ground control station. The benefits of pilot less aircraft include increased safety, reduced human error, and the ability to operate in hazardous or remote environments. However, there are concerns about cybersecurity, job displacement, and the need for regulations. Pilot less aircraft are currently used in industries such as military, search and rescue, agriculture, and transportation, with potential applications in delivery services, environmental monitoring, and disaster response.
