The PBS documentary Warplane claims that the F-22 may be the last fighter jet with a human pilot. What do you think?
F-35, T-50, J-20 are all newer than an F-22 but have human pilots. i think PBS has no clueThe PBS documentary Warplane claims that the F-22 may be the last fighter jet with a human pilot. What do you think?
what he saidF-35, T-50, J-20 are all newer than an F-22 but have human pilots. i think PBS has no clue
That isn't a new documetary, it first premired in 2006, and a lot has changed since then.The PBS documentary Warplane claims that the F-22 may be the last fighter jet with a human pilot. What do you think?
well i think it is trying to say next genaration check out the f/a xx and the falcun (not the f16 falcun)F-35, T-50, J-20 are all newer than an F-22 but have human pilots. i think PBS has no clue
pleas look at the preditor cThe other aircraft are more multiroled than the F-22, but yes, last fighter indeed, surely the F-35 has to more recent.
People have tried strapping a2a missiles onto UAV platforms, so far they have come up short. They make better bombers, but then again the germans had that technology since the early 1940's. Yet, we still have manned bombers...
I think that the question should be changed from “Is the F-22 the last fighter jet with a human pilot?” to “Is the fifth generation of fighter air-craft the last generation to have onboard human pilots?”pleas look at the preditor c
Again i refer to my post a little earlier in the thread:I think that the question should be changed from “Is the F-22 the last fighter jet with a human pilot?” to “Is the fifth generation of fighter air-craft the last generation to have onboard human pilots?”
The answer depends upon what kind of new technologies will be the game changers for fight air-craft in the next generation? If those new and as yet not even thought up technologies require the pilot to take more Gs the answer is yes, it will be the last. A nine g air-craft, however you define it, is the maximum a human body can take. We can at this point build aircraft that can exceed what the human body can withstand. But for obvious reasons we don’t. If you can achieve air dominance without taking more Gs the answers to the question is no. Having a pilot in the loop will always be preferable to having to rely on an external communications link or any kind of on board AI that is likely to be ever developed, ever. But performance trumps all in the end. We will just have to wait and see.
This is why Boeing is thinking along the lines of a platform which can accommodate a pilot if needed; there simply isn't enough confidence in autonomous unmanned systems to go out there alone a make life and death decisions in complex situations (there may never be). This solves both problems.Ozzy Blizzard said:I remember Boeing's proposal for a 6th gen F/A-18EF replacement was a fighter with a cockpit but with the ability to operate unmanned. So even 6th gen platforms may have pilots, in some situations.
I think they are on drugs. As others have said, F-35, SU-35 and PAK-FA are all newer...The PBS documentary Warplane claims that the F-22 may be the last fighter jet with a human pilot. What do you think?

Read- The Air Force would never have given the concept a second thought if the Army hadn't started to move onto its turf.Developed as an Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration (ACTD) program, the Predator has participated in various training exercises, demonstrations, and operational deployments. Three systems were bought as part of the ACTD, totaling twelve air vehicles, three GCSs and three Trojan Spirit IIs. Although the Army initially led the Predator program, the Pentagon chose the Air Force as the lead service.
