US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth offered a rare glimpse at the next evolution of American aviation, piloting a UH-60 Black Hawk remotely using only touchscreen controls.

Hegseth guided the helicopter through a display that streamed live camera feeds and real-time data pulled straight from the aircraft’s onboard sensors.

Pilots remained inside the Black Hawk as a precaution, but every flight maneuver was directed entirely through the touchscreen interface.
