if you don't think your job will be taken by autonomous flight in the next 10-20 years: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RgaJWYRfHA This is the latest and greatest version I've seen. Didn't know Moog was in on this game (rising defense and commercial contractor). But think about it: they've made autonomous systems for the UH-60, S-76, UH-1, EC-145, Bell 407, EC-130, K-Max, Schweizer 300, R44/R66, Cabri G2, and now here's one for the Bell 206. They're just building the hours, data, and stats to prove how much safer they are than you knuckleheads flying them. Really any military aircraft with CAAS architecture can be made autonomous. All of the newer, integrated 4-axis autopilot aircraft can be switched over. Pilot shortage + a few more sensational crashes = autonomous pilots fielding
