The future loyal wingmen of the United States Air Force are inching closer to becoming a reality, and more importantly, the artificial intelligence (AI) controlled aircraft could be on track to be as good as any human pilot. That was the assessment from Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall, who recently took flight in an autonomously-controlled X62A VISTA (Variable In-flight Simulation Test Aircraft), a modified F-16 Fighting Falcon
The F16 can out fly a pilot though right? It can pull 9g which will eventually overwhelm the pilot? Still has the reaction speed benefits though.
Edit: i just remembered there is still a pilot onboard, so it probably isnt allowed to just pull 9g turns constantly.
Has there been much fighter to fighter combat in Ukraine? I thought it was mostly drones and anti-air lately. Havent really been following it much.
