Airbus Acubed's Project Wayfinder new flying lab aircraft for autonomous flight research - Business Insider

self-flying A350-1000 XWB that performed successful taxi, take-off, and landing tests entirely on its ownPerforming over 500 flights as part of the Autonomous Taxi, Take-off, and Landing project, the aircraft was successfully able to distinguish airport runways and taxiways, skillfully piloting itself through each phase of flight and taking the idea of autopilot to the next level.

Each flight was performed at Airbus' headquarters and main production facility in Toulouse, France, where the aircraft performing the tests was also assembled. But the software powering the flights had been driven by data from researchers and engineers 5,000 miles away in the San Francisco Bay Area. Airbus' Silicon Valley incubator, Acubed, is home to Project Wayfinder, which aims to create autonomous solutions for the future of flight, whether it be manned and unmanned.

Pilots barely had to do anything besides ensure the plane was making the right calculations and adjustments in each phase of flight.Even Airbus' military division is benefiting from autonomous systems, with some being tested on air-to-air refueling planes.The tech would recognize fighter jets and other military planes as they approached and conduct an automated refueling process.Though, before the tech can be used widespread on planes like the Airbus A350 XWB...

Project Wayfinder just acquired this Beechcraft Baron 58 and outfitted it with cameras, sensors, and computers to capture valuable flight data as it flies around the Bay Area.The flying lab collects imagery from each flight which is then auto-labeled and given to machine learning algorithms. That data, in turn, helps the system "see," according to Airbus.Airbus Acubed/Project WayfinderTest flight data collected by Project Wayfinder's Beechcraft Baron 58.
