Richard Quest was on board on this flight. Will be interesting to see what he writes about the experience.

Just read his piece on CNN.

What I find remarkable on these articles is the claim they will be using AI for routine tasks. No, definitely not. Routine tasks do not need AI. The aviation industry automated the flight engineer and the radio operator away without having heard of AI. routine stuff does not need AI.

AI is necessary for those tasks where humans fail or do poorly. E.g. the interpretation of multiple alarms and ambiguous readings of multiple flight instruments. Eg think the Max disaster or AF44.

That is where AI would come into its own. Having said that, training the relevant algorithms is going to be extremely difficult.

Qantas chooses the A350-1000 powered by RR Trent XWB engines for these ultra long haul flights. If the at all move forward with project sunrise.
