Airbus' self-flying plane just completed successful taxi, take-offs and landing tests, opening the door for fully autonomous flight

One of its newest jets, the Airbus A350-1000 XWB, was chosen to be the testbed for the project thanks to the advanced technological features of the aircraft.The program would rely heavily on the A350's onboard cameras used by pilots to help guide the plane while on the ground, providing viewpoints from the tail and landing gear.Even passengers can access them for a unique view of take-off and landings, a reprieve from the standard onboard programming of TV shows and movies.

Pilots just had to line the plane up and then the jet took over, navigating independently as it accelerated down the runway and lifting off at the appropriate time.Any number of factors – including wind – can knock a plane off-course during take-off and the pilot has to correct the plane's heading when it does. But that wasn't the case here as the airplane did all the work.

An autonomous flight on an Airbus is better than a manned flight on a Boeing.
