There was another discussion a couple months ago [0] which linked to an MIT lecture on Youtube about the F-22 and its design. At 40 minutes in [1], he describes a scenario with an F-15 where the pilot could rip the wings off of the plane. He contrasts that the F-22's software was designed to make the most use of control surfaces and limiters to prevent that.

- PhantomGremlin 6y agoBut it's relatively easy to create an unmanned airframe that can maneuver at +/- 20g's. The pilot has been the limiting factor for quite some time. An unmanned aircraft could laughably outmaneuver an F-22. The AI is the tricky part.
