American Airlines soon followed with a $1 billion preorder with Vertical Aerospace for up to 250 eVTOLs. (www.businessinsider.com) Mais...

Aviation history is full of examples where pilots ability to judge a situation were key to avoiding a crash. I can only think of one situation that a pilotless aircraft might have made a difference. That was the Greek airliner whose oxygen system failed. Pilotless aircraft are so wrong. I will never knowingly turn my life over to the judgement of a silicon chip. let me know how allowing your toaster to fly your aircraft works out for you.
