“…For both technological approaches, the development of sophisticated automation and/or autonomy is necessary to reduce the demands on the pilot in times of high workload or to take control in the case of incapacitation. Intelligent systems are being developed for the dynamic allocation of workload based upon physiological parameters, cognitive indicators, operational and environmental conditions, system and interface variables [48][49][50][51]. When the onboard pilot monitoring systems detect a crew member is becoming overloaded, these systems re-distribute tasks to ground support and/or the onboard automation.…”

“…the Helios Airways accident, 2005 where the pilots became incapacitated as a result of hypoxia following a cabin pressurisation incident). SiPO pilots will need to be continually monitored to support workload offloading [48][49][50][51] but this also has the benefit of supporting intervention from the ground in the case of incapacitation. Similar potential benefits also accrue in the instances of in-flight fire.…”

For financial and operational reasons many aircraft manufacturers are working on the development of single-pilot commercial aircraft. It is suggested that cargo operations may commence in the early 2030s followed by passenger flights later that decade. Two technological approaches for the development of single-pilot airliners are being developed either based upon extant technology and operating concepts derived from uninhabited aviation systems and military aircraft, or alternatively based upon high levels of onboard autonomy/automation. This review considers the economic, technological, regulatory (safety) and societal acceptance of the single-pilot airliner, and examines some of the operational challenges that airlines may face. It is suggested that while the technological and safety challenges may be resolved, it is the operational challenges that may determine if the concept is ultimately viable.
