Drone aircraft to fly cargo cheaper and with less emissions than a Boeing 747
As reported at SingularityHub, a new startup Nautilus has secured orders of over 440(!) of its drone ‘blended wing’ aircraft that can move 60% more cargo with 50% less carbon emissions than a Boeing 747.
The drones will initially be remotely piloted (finally! all those hours spent playing Microsoft Flight Simulator might land you a job 😄), but have been designed and built for autonomous flight once allowed by regulations.
cool. imagine an autonomous flight
Its amazing hey. Future generations might shake their heads at our era and be amazed that we ever entrusted humans and their ‘wetware’ with the control of hundreds of tonnes of steel hurtling through the atmosphere at the speed of sound!
Wow
One of the good days i will be the driver of the drone.
The modern drone looks cool to use.
That’s amazing hey!
thats amazing

Wow
Sounds good for the planet and geeks, let’s hope the cost of moving cargo also comes down!
