Can’t help thinking that as planes get more powerful and maneuverable over time, they will have to be flown remotely by pilots on the ground. Sort of like a trackless roller coaster. No way to make a ground VR simulator that has these G forces on demand.
So… what are some of the reasons we still need manually piloted fighter aircraft instead of remotes and drones, again? I assume communications lag is one factor, but are there others?
You know… Stealth has a few things going for it. My favorite part was probably the refueling airship platform, which I thought was a pretty neat idea, and not just because I tend to believe Uncle Sam may have some interesting black project airship stuff going on.
