Operational requirements for fully automatic flight

Abstract

Fully automatic flight will be required in the near future to improve the financial state and safety of commercial air transportation. Technological means of providing fully automatic flight for aircraft have already been developed, but there remains the need to provide other systems with which aircraft must interact. Chief of these is the provision of an air traffic management system. Provides a description of the schemes which are being developed to bring about Free Flight.
