Good point. I was thinking rather of the economic costs of losing a trained pilot and the increasing public outrage at human casualties.evilleMonkeighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11998198938697175335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394074963215462822.post-30798935478472873942012-05-16T05:54:29.194-07:002012-05-16T05:54:29.194-07:00The other aspect is that unmanned drones can pull ...The other aspect is that unmanned drones can pull mega high G turns that would squish a crew, and dedicate all its mass to useful stuff like reaction mass/payload rather than non mission related items like life support systems. Of course, the time lag involved would mean that remote piloting at range would not be possible, so a higher reliance on the onboard AI is required.Paul O'Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08611720164170399684noreply@blogger.com
