Control Commercial
Will they ever have remote control Commercial airliners?
I think if it was ever possible logistically and technologically it would be great, but then again its probably far too difficult and thousands would be killed... what do you think?
Vincent G - great points, but I was thinking more like programmed planes that have their destinations within them and remote controlled the point where they can be controlled in case something goes wrong with the programming. And the point to getting rid of a human crew would be to avoid hijackings
David S - Not to underestimate the enemy but "Smart Terrorist" is kind of an oxymoron
more or less good idea. already feasible. Thinking about all the probes we've sent into space and the like. They are all automated, and/or remote controlled. And the UCAVs that the USAF uses for intel gathering.
The problem is the people. Would you trust your life to a machine? possibly even software made by Microsoft? There are also the limitations to machines. They do not "think". They cannot react to unexpected siuations as efficiently as trained humans.
The remote-control in an emergency idea kind of compensates but nothing is like having a real crew on board.
Also, this does not remove the hi-jacking threat. In fact, it could even make it easier. Just pull out a few wires, a plug or two, or even upload a new program via your laptop into the aircraft in flight or while it is being servced on the ground. Heck, a smart terrorist or hacker could probably upload a malicious program into the plane via internet.
So in the end, it is possible but no airline would do it. The elimination of the pilots' salaries and training would not compensate for the loss in revenue caused by the drop in clients and higher insurance prices.
It is very unlikely that we will see this technology implemented for commercial airliners. Perhaps for other uses, it would be more possible, like air freight.
