Would you fly in a single pilot aircraft with AI (artificial intelligence)?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Airbus<\/a> Chief Technology Officer, Grazia Vittadini, said that the European aerospace giant is currently working on a single-pilot aircraft model to meet rising air travel demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"AI<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Demand for air travel doubles every 15-20 years. This results in more noise, emissions, fuel consumption and a higher requirement for pilots. The single pilot model is being developed with the help of automation technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The human component will continue to be accountable for strategic decisions. However AI will take care of the routine tasks, reducing the pilot’s workload so that his\/her attention is focused. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Introduction of AI Apps<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There will be AI apps for aiding activities, such as image recognition of runways or signs. Also for the conversion of speech to text, as communication plays a significant part of the pilot\u2019s workload. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Airbus will start testing the single-pilot model with freighter aircraft. They expect this to become a reality over the next decade or so. <\/p>Grazia Vittadini, Airbus Chief Technology Officer<\/em><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Enhancing Passenger Safety<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Vittadini said issues regarding passenger safety will be enhanced with these new technologies.
Airbus\u2019s move to do away with two pilots comes on a day when Boeing announced that it has scaled back the use of automation to make fuselage sections for its 777 jetliners amid reports of reliability issues, and returned to having human mechanics do some of the work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Airbus, spends about \u20ac2 billion annually in research and development (R&D). It is also working on a complex hybrid-electric aircraft demonstrator, E-Fan X. In the test aircraft, one of the four jet engines will be replaced by a two megawatt electric motor. The motor is roughly equivalent to the power of 10 medium-sized cars. The electric propulsion unit is powered by a power-generation system and battery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
