No Designing and certifying autonomous fixed-wing cargo aircraft requires aerospace engineering, flight-control expertise, and FAA or defence regulatory approval, none of which vibe coding provides.
What it would actually take: A real version needs an airframe design team, propulsion and avionics integration, flight-control and autonomy software with safety-critical testing, and certification processes for unmanned aircraft. It also requires flight test infrastructure, regulatory relationships, and significant capital. Software alone is a small fraction of the work.
