: I'd imagine you're probably thinking a bit more about UCAV's than UAV's, but : we're still a long way from them actually being fully controlled by an AI : as we tend to think of them, like in the (terrible) movie, Stealth. Yes, I was, thanks for correcting me. : Complete loss of control, absolutely impossible for any human to do anything : (the video mentions manual override. Possible for the X-31, but that's not : an option on the likes of the F-22 or Typhoon) That thing flew like a brick after the computers malfunctioned. :( Amazing to see. It made me think how interesting it would be to see this concept explored in a game, in the context of the original post. I guess Halo CE had a little bit of it, if you shot Keyes right at the start. :P : That said, there are a whole bunch of other flight limiters in place on the : latest fighters and even some airliners. : Ones that are designed so that the pilot cannot exceed the flight envelope, : like g-limiters, angle of attack limiters, etc. These are 'hard' limits on : Western aircraft and cannot be overridden. : The Russians prefer 'soft' limits that the pilot can either disable or : override if you apply enough force to the stick. That doesn't surprise me about the Russians. lol
