Computers are already flying aircraft. We need to expand on that for personal flight. Open it up to the masses with vertical take offs & landings.
Like the discussions. Like to see more Android options.
I also would like tosee more android material. Igave my iPad away and bought a nexus 7
Flying safely is already a challenge for me (3500 hours with Instrument rating). To put aircraft in our airspace with either (1) no Pilot at all, or (2) a Pilot that has little training is inconceivable. Once that happens, Safety will be greatly compromised and flying under those conditions will be a nightmare.
You Android guys do realize that you’re on an iPad site … I’m just sayin’
