A small cut and paste from Howard's last news release. ----- "The key advantage of drones," stated Foote, "is their no-risk-to-pilot factor. In the absence of human limitations, jet fighters can perform amazing maneuvers. The Dolphin's 20-G turn capabilities enable it to outperform any manned military air vehicle in service today. It is equipped with state-of-the art, 21st century high-energy weaponry and costs a fraction of current manned vehicles." ----- Humans can only handle about a 9G turn before they black out. Think about what that means for air to air combat. A remote pilot on the ground could easily out maneuver his enemy. There are probably hundreds of uses for unmanned aircraft, border patrol, air-to-air or air-to-ground combat, telecom, etc.
