Why can’t they be piloted like drones, and wouldn’t that make them more flexible in designs since they don’t need to worry about space for pilots/gforces?
In: Technology
One problem is that communicating with the plane is too slow. For example, it takes over 1 second for an operator command to reach a Predator drone. Transmitting info or video back is also delayed. That drone has a max speed of 300mph so it’s not a big problem. For a fighter jet going mach speeds, those seconds are a huge problem.
