You are mistaken about the reason for the voice in jet fighters. "Bitching Betty" [1], the voice warning in aircraft such as the F-16 and F/A-18 was originally female because female pilots, especially in the military were relatively rare, although there were some female controllers. The female voice was more noticeable above the normal male pilots chatter on the radio. The wiki entry is somewhat inaccurate on the historical detail, so I included some info from F-16.net [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitching_Betty#Voice_gender http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitching_Betty#Voice_gender [2] http://www.f-16.net/f-16_forum_viewtopic-t-1950-postdays-0-postorder-asc.html http://www.f-16.net/f-16_forum_viewtopic-t-1950-postdays-0-p...
