THIS HELICOPTER HAS NO PILOT, NO GLASS, AND FLIES ITSELF No cockpit. No controls. No human inside. This isn’t a drone. It’s the world’s first fully autonomous uncrewed helicopter, built in Yeovil by Leonardo. No one’s flying it from a base. No joystick. It makes its own decisions mid-air. 8-hour flights, no rations, no rest. Just nonstop autonomous flight. There’s a giant space in the back for cargo, 5 rotor blades on top, and a tail like a classic chopper. Source: BBC
