F-35 Will Be Last Of Traditional Aircraft
The top gun of the future will be a robot - not your
hormone-pumping human aviator. Unmanned aircraft will be the key to
the modern battlefield as the traditional fighter aircraft is
phased out, say industry analysts. In fact, some believe the F-35
may well be the end of the line for American fighters. This was the
most obvious change at last month's Asian Aerospace 2004 fair in
Singapore. By presenting analyses and demonstration charts,
industry analysts described the decline of the traditional fighter
jet. All agreed this would mark the end of one era and the
beginning of a new one -- when the unmanned aircraft will lead the
way into the modern battlefield.
