Reliable Robotics completes first automated flights at Sunport
Reliable Robotics has completed its first autonomous flights at the Albuquerque International Sunport, operating a Cessna 208B Grand Caravan remotely from its California headquarters. The tests, part of a federal program, showcase remote control of cargo planes with detect-and-avoid technology to reduce collision risks, advancing the integration of autonomous aircraft into complex airspace.
Reliable Robotics' autonomous flight tests at the Albuquerque Sunport demonstrate remote operation of single-engine cargo planes using detect-and-avoid technology, marking progress in integrating autonomy into high-density airspace.
