Black Hawk helicopter flies uninhabited for the first time

Strange house. Lol

Perhaps the writer is one of those over-sensitized types and was trying to avoid the use of the word "unmanned."

Pilotless, unmanned, unoccupied and uninhabited are all terms that are used in the industry.

Yeah, definitely a stupid choice of word on the part of some English-challenged typical US college "graduate".

'We have Blackhawk squatter-bound'

If inhabited, is there a bedroom and ensuite?

But it has a fancy tortured acronym - so it has to be successful?

And no Robert Duval proclaiming what he likes the smell of.

I was thinking it had to be "unpersoned".

And, of course, waits for the humans to put the M134 Gatling guns also under robotic control! Ha!

Ventured on this page for this!!😅

The point of robotic control of aircraft (hopefully implemented using AI) is to make air travel safer. I get your point though, exactly when was the last passenger casualty due to commercial aircraft accident in the US? I guess DARPA is doing this to help non-US carriers get safer /s. I’d complain about this use of US tax dollars, but then I took note of what the D in DARPA stands for.

...go wrong...go wrong...go wro,,,,

People said the same thing about fully automated elevators. Technology will advance despite your lack of acceptance, and one day about 20 years from now, passengers will step onto airliners that have no human pilots on board and the safety of this will be accepted in the same way the 737 MAX’s systems have now been accepted.
