"Pilots are going to make mistakes, but a skilled human in that context, their expertise is quite amazing," he said.". Airline pilots do most of their flying for brief minutes during takeoffs and landings, and even those critical phases of flight could be handled by the autopilot."It's really glass curtain wall Manufacturers about a spectrum of increasing autonomy and how humans and robots work together so that each can be doing the thing that its best at," said John Langford, Aurora's chairman and CEO.Pilot unions, however, are skeptical that robots can replace humans in the cockpit. For example, an array of cameras allows the robot to see all the cockpit instruments and read the gauges. Keith Hagy, the Air Line Pilots Association's director of engineering and safety, pointed to instances of multiple system failures during flights where only through the heroic efforts of pilots able to improvise were lives saved. In 2010, for example, an engine on a jumbo-sized Qantas airliner with 450 people on board blew up, firing shrapnel that damaged multiple other critical aircraft systems and the plane's landing gear. In today's airliners, the autopilot is on nearly the entire time the plane is in the air.It some ways, it will be like flying with a "co-pilot genius," Langford said.In other ways, the robot is better than the human pilot, reacting faster and with knowledge instantaneously available, able to call up every emergency checklist for a possible situation, officials said.

But the robot faces a lot of hurdles before it's ready to start replacing human pilots, not the least of which is that it would require a massive rewrite of Federal Aviation Administration safety regulations. Personal robot planes may become a common mode of travel.The robot "can do everything a human can do" except look out the window, Langford said. "It's like having a human pilot with 600,000 hours of experience. Consider it the aviation equivalent of the self-driving car. With both the military and airlines struggling with shortages of trained pilots, defense officials say they see an advantage to reducing the number of pilots required to fly large planes or helicopters while at the same time making operations safer and more efficient by having a robot step in to pick up the mundane tasks of flying."The ALIAS robot is designed to be a "drop-in" technology, ready for use in any plane or helicopter, even 1950s vintage aircraft built before electronics.The idea is to have the robot augment the human pilot by taking over a lot of the workload, thus freeing the human pilot - especially in emergencies and demanding situations - to think strategically. But inside the cockpit, in the right seat, a robot with spindly metal tubes and rods for arms and legs and a claw hand grasping the throttle, was doing the flying.The program, known as Aircrew Labor In-Cockpit Automation System or ALIAS, is funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and run by Aurora Flight Sciences, a private contractor.Sophisticated computers flying planes aren't new.

Elements of the ALIAS technology could be adopted within the next five years, officials said, much the way automakers are gradually adding automated safety features that are the building blocks of self-driving technology to cars today. Even small changes to FAA regulations often take years to make. And it learns not only from its experience flying the plane, but also from the entire history of flight in that type of plane. In left seat, a human pilot tapped commands to his mute colleague using an electronic tablet. "A robot just isn't going to have that kind of capability.The program's leaders even envision a day when planes and helicopters, large and small, will fly people and cargo without any human pilot on board."David Strayer, a University of Utah professor of cognition and neural science who has studied the human-machine interface, agreed.But the ALIAS robot goes steps further.From the outside, the single-engine Cessna Caravan that took off from a small airport here on Monday looked unremarkable. By chance, there were five experienced pilots on board - including three captains - who, working together, were able to land the plane. Dan Patt, DARPA's ALIAS program manager, said he thinks replacing human pilots with robots is still a couple of decades away, but Langford said he believes the transition will happen sooner than that. But it was a close call.
