Christian Scherer also said in an interview with The Associated Press on Monday that Airbus hopes to be selling hybrid or electric passenger jets by around 2035.
"This is not a matter of technology -- it's a matter of interaction with the regulators, the perception in the travelling public," he told The Associated Press. Several manufacturers are presenting unmanned aircraft at the Paris Air Show, primarily for military purposes -- and some are also proposing pilotless "air taxis" of the future.
Scherer said the crashes "highlighted and underlined the need for absolute, uncompromising safety in this industry, whether from Airbus, Boeing or any other plane."
Nooooppe
nope wouldn't even climb the first step of the plane, thank you very much
Are there pilots on board for back up if so that’s ok
I'll take a hard pass, thanks.
Yeah let's make it easier for al qaeda to hijack..
Doesn't surprise me. In the early 90s I chatted with a pilot of an Airbus at the cockpit door. He showed me that everything was already computer driven. To manually manoeuver the plane on the ground there was a computer joystick in the corner. Like playing Flight Simulator.
The majority of airplane crashes are due to pilot error. That said, it would still be comforting to have someone up front just in case.
no
Mmmmm? Maybe Airbus but Boeing? Not so much.
Nope will not fly on a plane without a pilot
No
No. Nope. Nada. Heck no.
No
Yikes !!!! No
No!!!
Never.
Even with pilots and auto-pilots, plane crashes still happen not to talk of pilotless planes. This seems like a disaster in waiting. Passengers won't fancy it
Sure. Until they are hacked and passengers are used as pawns....then, not so much.
I'm scared
Hell no !
Ya a computer named HAL
HELL NO !
Flights better get cheaper when your not paying pilots a quarter mil a year anymore. Friggin highway Robbery just get to across the country
Nope not at all!
Not if any of the software engineers that worked on it, previously worked at Boeing.
Absolutely no way!!!
No
Not a chance.
No....and the bigger question....Is that a parachute on the pilot?
What if the on board computer shuts down ? Turn off the auto pilot and ask someone if they can fly a plane 😢
Is this your warm up for telling us their already doing it?
A'Pilotless Jet? NEVER!
HELL NO
Bring on the discounts
Nopey nope nope nope!!!!
Ahhh no or better yet Hell No
Maybe?
Ah..... NO!!!!! Never ever ever🙄
Yes and I think this will happen soon enough.
This is absolutely terrifying. There is no perfect transmission system, there’s a good chance you’ll lose connection with at least one plane...
That’s a no from me! ilovepilots
👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
Absolutely NOT
Before we jump to pilotless jets suggest we make sure our super high tech planes like the 737 Max can fly
Hard no
Will never happen
That’s insane! We all know how computers work - why would you chance it?
Nope…I rather be grounded!!!
No
I’ll fly a hot air ballon to my destination.
I’d rather grill my bag.
No.
NOPE! I’d rather have a pilot on my flight please
