high risk, high reward aerospace development

the company spacex has implemented a high risk, high reward strategy 

when it comes to test launches of their rockets 

unmanned autonomous rockets often crash and/or explode during tests 

as a result the development and production of new rockets 

can be done quickly 

this high risk, high reward strategy of spacex is possible 

because the rockets are autonomous 

and are thereby unmanned during test flights 

and that is possible because of remote control 

and autonomous technologies 

these high risk, high reward strategies 

could be implemented by the air force of a country 

and by civilian commercial passenger aircraft companies 

and by civilian commercial transport aircraft companies 

in order to speed up the development and production of those aircraft 

and for that to be possible 

test airstrips need to be built so close to the sea 

so that the airstrip ends close to the water 

and where a long distance above the sea is available 

this will enable test aircraft to be fully autonomous 

and if they crash, then they will crash in the sea 

during takeoff or during flight 

historically the development of aircraft 

has been considered a high risk, high reward business 

and as a result of that a lot of pilots have been injured or died 

but risking the health and lives of pilots is not feasible anymore 

so autonomous technologies offers possibilities 

to use high risk, reward strategies 

without risking the health and lives of pilots 

the problems in the civilian commercial aircraft industry 

indicates that their development and production model is wrong 

too much focus on safety disables safety in reality 

and autonomous technologies enables the test of worst case scenarios 

in real life unmanned test flights 

there are many new technologies that could possibly change 

the civilian aircraft industry 

such as: 

ai-pilots, fully autonomous transport aircraft, hypersonic flight 

and space planes 

and to enable the development and production of products 

with those technologies 

then a high risk, high reward strategy is needed 

also in my opinion less wind tunnel testing and engine testing is needed 

because those tests can be simulated in weaker supercomputers
