13/01/2011 - Continued Research on Possible Future Developments - 3 Hours

Continued my research into possible future developments. I looked into whether aircrafts could ever become pilotless and what effects it would have on the economy (pilots losing their jobs). Also I researched into different materials and shapes that airline manufacturers are introducing to use on new aircrafts. To support this research I looked into a possible new aircraft (SAX-40) which is in its testing stage. Manufacturers have changed the shape of SAX-40 aircraft and have used technology to make it silent to benefit the enviroment.
