Autonomy 101: Autonomous Flight with Human Oversight
As the aviation industry embraces Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) and autonomous flight, understanding how humans and autonomous systems work together is essential. This balance is vital for ensuring safe, reliable, and predictable operations. Autonomous flight refers to aircraft that can operate using advanced software and algorithms to make informed decisions without human direction, such as […]
Autonomy 101: Role of Automation in Advanced Air Mobility
Autonomy in aviation has reached a significant milestone, largely due to advancements in technologies such as precision navigation and flight management systems. These systems allow aircraft to perform many functions autonomously, crucially navigating, communicating, and managing flight paths without constant human intervention. Automation is at the core of Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) and is what […]
Autonomy 101: Autonomy Explained
Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) introduces a new sector of aviation: passenger-carrying autonomous aircraft operating in urban and regional environments. Think of the autonomous driving cars that have been developed in the last couple years, but for the sky instead of the roads. In this context, autonomy refers to a system capable of operating independently, utilizing […]
