System to maintain vehicle trajectory in lieu of direct operator command

Autopilot ▸ Facts ▸ Comments ▸ News ▸ Videos

An autopilot is a system used to control the path of an aircraft, marine craft or spacecraft without requiring constant manual control by a human operator. Autopilots do not replace human operators. Instead, the autopilot assists the operator's control of the vehicle, allowing the operator to focus on broader aspects of operations.
