World's first pilotless robo-plane is set to fly. But when?

By the end of the decade, a huge pilotless robo aircraft "as tall as a house and as long as a football pitch" might take to the skies; but, it won't be able to fly over land.

The Sun was informed by the design coordinator of the world's heaviest aircraft, known as Droneliner, about his aspirations for the futuristic robo-plane.

The aircraft has the potential to revolutionise e-commerce by enabling customers to quickly receive their orders from all across the world.

Impatient customers waiting for a prom dress or birthday present might become very agitated when there are delivery delays, but there may now be a solution to this annoying situation.

Massive enough to accommodate the weight of a jumbo jet in its hold, the Droneliner promises to make heavy cargo transportation easy.

If it ever takes to the sky, the aircraft, which has three times the power of a Boeing 747, will be able to go across a third of the globe in a single flight.

This UK-designed device is a remotely piloted worldwide air freight system capable of transporting up to forty lightweight 20-foot shipping containers.

"It's the most exciting new aeroplane since the jumbo jet," design coordinator Mike Debens told The Sun, but he estimates the cost of getting it into the air to be several billion pounds.

Droneliner is going to change not just the fashion industry but also the food industry.

Mike said, “In winter, if you want, say, blueberries or crayfish or something, It has to come from the other end of the world."
