pilot technology ALIAS could replace pilot and save lives

Helicopter maker Sikorsky's chief autonomy engineer Igor Cherepinsky said it won't put pilots out of business, but it will "transform" them.

"Today's pilots spend a lot of their time making sure the aircraft is stable, it's going in the right direction, it's going the right replica hermes bag speed, obeying the laws of the air if you will, so ALIAS copilot can take care of all of that and free the human being to supervise and make sure that the bigger mission is running its course," Cherepinsky said.

"The first step is to let the pilots get used to the technology, reduce the crew, and show that we can do it safely with one pilot and get the pilot community used to that fact. And then we'll go from there," he said.

The technology is promising enough that the Defense Advance Research Project Agency (DARPA) is investing $57.5 million to make the digital co pilot a reality for replica hermes handbags military and commercial aircraft within the next decade.

During a demonstration, a chopper could be flown from a tablet on the ground, controlling the altitude and flight plan.

Because ALIAS is being developed with the military, CBS News was not allowed to show replica birkin handbags everything on the handheld, but Van Cleave said it only required a finger to move the aircraft.

Designers believe safeguards can be built into a digital co pilot to stop a repeat of the Germanwings crash, where a lone pilot intentionally flew an airliner into the ground.

"ALIAS can permit under the right circumstances, handing off the aircraft to an off board controller. To let somebody else, another human, fake hermes leather handbags help take control of the aircraft in the event of the emergency," DARPA program manager Dan Patt said.
