Current status of carrier landings?
In 1972 they were working on automated carrier landings.
What is current status? "August 1972 5--A Naval Air Test Center pilot made the first fully automated landing aboard the carrier Ranger in an F-4J Phantom II. The test landing device links the plane's controls with a computer aboard ship and enables the aircraft to land with the pilot's hands off the controls. The system was developed to make safer landings at night and in low visibility conditions."
