Finally, an Unmanned Fighter Aircraft

For roughly two decades I have been scratching my head at the lack of an unmanned fighter aircraft.  I blogged about it back in 2009 in a post entitled Why I Believe UAVs are Better Than Manned Fighters and it led to some decent conversation in the comments section.  Since then an AI pilot flying a limited F-16 (limited by Gs like a human would be) was able to beat a manned fighter one hundred percent of the time.  And now the YFQ-44A, that has discarded those arbitrary limits that only apply to humans, is being made known to the public.  It's about time.
