By 2029 we will still have a similar feel to aviation, but the technologies that support it all from 5G in the sky and AI in the cockpit will be common. Self-flying planes and helicopters for short distances with no pilots and more than likely just one pilot on major transatlantic routes with AI in the co-pilot's seat will be common. Our guest today Craig Picken is rare in that as a pilot he has done over 2,000 hours in US Military jets. He has sold billions of dollars in value in aircraft and is an industry commentator and visionary. We are going to see a fascinating convergence of technologies, ideas, consumer trends, and new transportation possibilities that will help re-shape aviation changes around us. Imagine looking out of an office block and seeing tens of self-piloting heli jets taking people from a building or even the road to a downtown destination.
