Today its been a great day ,seeing that nasty ,mean, beautiful T-50, showing that Ivan still has what it takes… but maby its kinda melancolic too for an aviation enthusiast(imo)…i was thinking, what is the next step , not only after T-50 , but after F-22 , F-35, Tiffy ,Rafale, Gripen, J-XX…
Whats will we see in the future ? Visual spectrum stealth a la klingons? airborne lasers? Odd-looking robo-fighters controled by supercomputers , the pilot becoming a thing of the past( and with him a thing of the past will also pe the excitement and exhilaration we experienced today …whos gonna be that excited for the first flight of a hideous UCAV i ask? )
Is the concept of the 6th gen. combat aircraft begun to be drafted yet ? what is the future going to bring ?
