Autonomy in Aviation

Autonomy in aviation refers to aircraft capability to perform flight tasks with minimal or no human input. Autonomous aircraft are equipped with advanced sensors, algorithms, and computing systems that allow them to navigate, avoid obstacles, and make real-time decisions. This technology aims to enhance safety, efficiency, and operational flexibility by reducing pilot workload, enabling longer flights, or supporting UAV (drone) applications. While full autonomy is still developing, it represents a significant shift towards more intelligent, self-governing aircraft within the aviation industry.
