F-22 Funding Cut Off
Unmanned aircraft are the future of aviation, so creating more and more F-22’s didn’t make that much sense to me — especially when we have almost 200 of them already. And it’s not like we’ll never know how to make them again — in case we ever change our minds and think we need more F-22’s. So I’m not exactly heart-broken that the Senate voted to end the production of these fighters. I’m sorta wondering why the airforce isn’t trying to augment pilots with unmanned aircraft that autonomously follow their leader and carry extra weapons… but I’m probably over-estimating the capabilities of current autonomous planes.
