The helicopter is one of the most practical aircraft that exist due to its ability to land anywhere, and it has many civil and military applications. For almost any need that we can think of, there is a helicopter model that satisfies it.
But due to its support system (one or more propellers that rotate on the roof of the device), strong air currents are caused in the surroundings of the device, and the piloting system is complex and delicate.
And as technology advances in all fields, it has advanced a lot in driving remote vehicles, and it has also done so in driving helicopters without a pilot, as you can see in the photo below.
One of the most popular helicopters (the Black Hawk) of which many thousands of copies have already been manufactured, has been modified by a DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) Project to provide it with the ability to fly without pilots.
A very interesting video can be seen at: https://youtu.be/dYcq_pzLsjA
In a military helicopter that must carry out high-risk missions in which the pilots can lose their lives, and therefore the ability to fly without them is a very important safety factor.
It can be seen in the video that the device is capable of carrying out different types of missions, without the need to carry pilots on board.
It is undoubtedly a very important advance, and it shows us once again that technological developments end up reaching all the activities of our lives.
If an Artificial Intelligence capability is added to this, we will have helicopters with greater operational capabilities and that will need less supervision from
And what they have done today for a military helicopter, in not too long a time and when it is more developed, will be applied to the field of civil helicopters.
As always, it's all a matter of a little more time passing.
