  • First Auto Pilot Aircraft (Artificial intelligence)

    First Auto Pilot Aircraft (Artificial intelligence)
    The Autopilot aircraft project was executed by Sperry Corporation in 1911 and end date was 1912. It was the first artificial intelligence aircraft which flew without pilot’s attention with help of gyroscope. An autopilot is designed to perform some of the tasks of the pilot. It permitted the plane to fly straight and level on a compass course without a pilot's attention, greatly reducing the pilot's workload.This project was completed in France.

The Airbus A-380 is the largest airliner ever built and is the world’s first double-deck passenger aircraft. Development costs of the Airbus A-380 were initially put at $8 billion but have risen to $12.2 billion. The airbus A-380 was assembled in France. The first Airbus was delivered to Singapore Airlines.
  • Solar impulse-2

    Solar impulse-2
    The project was executed by solar impulse foundation in 2010 and end date was 2014. Two Swiss engineers Bertrand Piccard and Andre Borscherg was the founder of the solar impulse-2. The solar impulse-2 was manufactured in America. The solar impulse-2 was first flight which completed 40,000 km flight without using fossil fuel. Solar impulse 2 spent 23 days in the air and crossed both the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans on solar energy. The solar impulse 2 project cost estimated around $170 Million.
