British defence company BAE Systems is researching the feasibility of an autonomous aircraft that could not only take off and land without any human intervention but also plot a safe flight path avoiding bad weather and other planes in the sky.

BBC Click's Marc Cieslak went to Warton in Lancashire where the company is using a Jetstream 31 aircraft as a flying test bed for technology.

He joins the crew on board the plane as they hand control of the plane to a shed on the ground.
