Episode Overview
In the infancy of aviation, pilots relied on basic instruments. For instance, a weighted silk stocking attached to a strut assisted in measuring airspeed. During wartime, pilots had to master the art of flying without visual cues. Nowadays, technology has advanced significantly; pilots utilize orbiting satellites for precise navigation, and sophisticated autopilot systems allow planes to operate autonomously.
