Airbus Adds Assisted Piloting Features in the Emergency Cases
References: dreamstime & designtaxi
Airbus is launching a new assisted piloting system in the case of emergencies if pilots may not know the best route out of a given situation. The system is dubbed the DragonFly and it is able to divert a flight and then select the best path to direct those on board to the nearest airport.
Additionally, it is also able to consider airspace rules and the current weather conditions to ensure that it lands as safely as possible. To function, it runs on a system of sensors and computer vision algorithms that are built in to direct to the runway. Notably, with the system in place, Airbus is still under checks from current regulators as the Federal Aviation Administration within the US.
