Product & engineering
Understand the product.
Autopilots are electronic systems designed to navigate a vehicle without human input. Although limitedly available in marine and automobile applications, they are most common in the aerospace industry, and that is what we will count in this report.
In the world of aircraft, the autopilot is more accurately described as the automatic flight control system (AFCS). An AFCS is part of an aircraft's avionics - the electronic systems, equipment and devices used to control key systems of the plane and its flight. Smaller aircraft rely on electronic gyroscopes to determine pitch, roll, and sometimes yaw, while in flight, but rely on hand control for landing, takeoff, and other essential functions. Commercial or military autopilots for larger aircraft have taxi, takeoff, cruise, descent, approach, and landing phases that are governed by computer software integrated into a flight management system.
