Brian L asked:


By unmanned, I mean the aircraft are either operated by pilots on the ground, or operate autonomously. Are advances in military technology such as the creation of the MQ-9 reaper and the RQ-4 Global Hawk going to transfer to the civilian world? have any prototypes been made? Is general aviation as well as commercial aviation close to losing its aerial pilots? Should civilian pilots be fearing the loss of their jobs in the air or completely?
Basically, how far along in unmanned technology outside of the military.

Do the lights on aircraft have any meaning? I see a lot of aircraft at night. I’ve seen them with red, white, blue, or amber lights and I’ve seen constant lights and blinking lights. Is there any information? Like how each lighthouse blinks at a different rate does each aircraft blink at a different rate? Is it just the model of the aircraft or what?
