I'm so excited to finally share this video. Years of preparation for such an uneventful flight. (In aviation, uneventful is good!) I'm so proud of our team. Thank you team, thank you families, thank you supporters. Exciting times ahead for autonomous aviation.

We built avionics, software, mechanisms and a comm system that enables automated operation of the plane from a remote command station. The remote operator has a GUI where they can command the aircraft. This article goes into a bit more detail about how it works: https://www.flightglobal.com/airframers/with-tesla-and-space...
