Autopilot system is the crucial part of the flight management system and is used for controlling the vehicle without the human intervention. However, the system does not replace human entirely but, as an alternative, it helps in operating vehicle efficiently. The autopilot system contains an actuator, a computer and a programmer or mode selector. Programmer enables the pilot to program the autopilot system to get the desired flight profile. The computer receives the programmer information and then transmits to the actuator, and these are used to decrease the workload of the cockpit and for improving the capability of the pilot to control the flight. These systems are extensively used in spacecraft, ships, aviation and missiles.
Global Autopilot Systems Market Size:
