From an MSN article from the Robb report, discussing the proposed Honda 2600:
"Autothrottle and autobreak technology could make it the first transcontinental jet that can be flown by a single pilot."
I said I didn't think this technology was useful since they break enough already.
Apparently, the Robb report hasn't heard of Beechcraft, Cessna, Embrarer, Pilatus, Swearingen/Syberjet.
Wait until the Robb Report find out that there are intercontinental jets that are not used by the airlines, like the Gulfstream G650 and G650ER, that have had these capabilities for nearly a decade. Hasn't the BBJ had autothrottle, autoland, and autopilot for nearly 2 decades?
