The Proteus aircraft and NASA Dryden’s T-34 in flight over Las Cruces, NM. The Proteus was conceived as an “optionally piloted” aircraft flown by a two-person crew for takeoff, climb to mission altitude, descent and landing, and then operated either by a single pilot, remotely from the ground, or autonomously when on station at mission altitude.March 13, 2002NASA Photo / Tom Tschida› Proteus Project Description
