Manned fighter to face autonomous drone next year
- memexy 6y agoI'm betting on the autonomous drone. No way a human can outmaneuver something that doesn't pass out from excessive g force. > The design of the drones themselves would be freed from parameters required to accommodate and protect a human pilot. Their planforms could be better optimized for aerial maneuvering and the pilotless aircraft could handle greater stresses during more aggressive flying than would be deemed too dangerous if a person was inside.
- simonblack 6y agoLet's go the whole way and cut out the aircraft completely. What can an aircraft do that a dedicated missile can't?
