A Cessna 172B pilot in Mexico had to save his plane after his aeroplane propeller detached in flight. Yes, detached. Plonk. You can see the action from the cockpit in this video, including the exhilaration and relief of the passengers at the end.
The sensors dome mounted on this Cessna 182 comes from a Predator. And it’s under that wing because there’s a shortage of Predators and Reapers, so pilots can’t get training with real drones. The solution? Convert other pilots into drones.
