Sikorsky’s autonomous helicopter tech is ready for takeoff
“Eventually, the computational firepower between your ears runs out,” he says. This is one of the problems Sikorsky is trying to solve by developing autonomous technology for helicopters. What Sikorsky has developed is more than just a little autonomy, though. The innovation team has built a fascinating, complex sort of hybrid system that makes flying a helicopter so simple that they let me try it after barely 45 minutes on a simulator.

Amazing stuff but soon we’ll have pilots unable to control the helicopter when the automation fails just as we now do in fixed wings.
This autonomous approach to flight around cities represent a more comprehensive, thoughtful safety process of moving passengers. It’s not just designing and flying an electric toy with fans, but a system needed by governing agencies to assure safety of public transportation.
