Default RE: autonomous flight
ORIGINAL: J_R

The only definition of autonomous so far is a plane that requires no pilot input to take off, fly, and land. The plane used in the Tran-Alantic crossing was not autonomous, by that definition.

yeah, yeah, I know Abel, the key phrase is "so far".
most autonomous flights are launched and recovered manually..
