Method for implementing automated, fault tolerant, flight control and mission planning for operating a full-scale, clean fuel aircraft, which is based upon the use of one or more remote control tablet computers (36) adapted to communicate with a plurality of on-board autopilot control units (32). The on-board autopilot control units (32) are adapted to communicate to each other via a data bus (818) and/or in a wireless manner (816). The method further comprises the use of an on-board voting unit (42) adapted to communicate with the on-board autopilot control units (32) and adapted to determine which of the autopilot control units (32) must take over the control the aircraft.
