The testing has so far been limited to one A350-1000 demonstrator aircraft, so it could be a while before DragonFly reaches production. Regulators like the Federal Aviation Administration in the US will need to approve its use. But this is just a glimpse of where autonomous flight systems are headed. We might not see completely self-flying airliners for a long time, but we could see aircraft that require little intervention even in the middle of a crisis. This could also help increase flights to airports with difficult landings like New Zealand’s Wellington Airport and minimize taxiing-related delays. Stay tuned fam!
