There was a major historic moment yesterday that you might have missed. An unmanned drone<\/a> landed on an aircraft carrier<\/a>. The drone, an\u00a0X-47B demonstrator aircraft, landed on the aircraft carrier USS George H.W. Bush off the coast of Virginia yesterday.<\/p>\n

So why is this so important? What is the cost of training a military pilot<\/a> to fly a fighter plane<\/a> versus the cost of training a military pilot to operate a drone? How many systems can be left out a a drone that are necessary in a manned fighter plane–ejection seat<\/a>, cabin pressure<\/a> system, cabin temperature system, etc.? What is involved in the rescue of a downed pilot or the negotiations for that pilot if he is taken prisoner? In a dogfight a pilot is limited by the amount of G’s he can endure as well as the amount of G’s the plane can endure. If a drone is involved in a dogfight, it is only limited by the number of G’s the plane can take.<\/p>\n
