Aside from the sheer expense, the greatest limiting factor in performance has been..............the pilot. http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/06/06/the-u-s-air-force-may-have-just-built-its-last-fighter-jet.html |

With some improvement over todays aircraft sensors as on the F35, situational awareness will be superior to a pilots eyes. GPS is key however. We along with the Chinese and Russians have the capability to take out the satellites. So it now comes back to a piloted aircraft to sort out the enemy targets. |
