Planes Of The Future

High-tech gizmos propel aviation into the future

In a demonstration Monday, six planes landed in rapid succession to simulate how new technologies will speed flights into small airports during poor weather.

Using devices that precisely track other nearby aircraft, give pilots a view of the ground regardless of the weather, send e-mail-like communications and look more like computer games than traditional cockpits, they touched down in the time it would normally take to land a single flight under current aviation rules.

Future The Planes

Very cool article. The pilots would be using almost virtual reality flight simulation programs, only they would be really flying. With the computerized warning systems, it could also limit the amount of mistakes and accidents made by pilots every year. The thing I like about this new technology is that it doesn't take the control out of the pilots hands. You have the benefit of mathematical computation of computers and the experience and human intuition of a real pilot.

Future The Planes

I saw a video today of a crew taking off in a boeing 787 that did a vertical climb. To know that this plane has that much power and lift to go vertical was impressive to say the least.
