Re:Future of Unmanned Aircraft? (Score 2, Interesting)

Everyone is missing the obvious. Manned vehicles are limited by their payload. namely, a human being. We have the materials for a/c to pull > 10g sustained. However, human beings tend to not like that. Elimnate the human, eliminate the need to limit the load curves on a V-n diagram. Further more, a general will be far more willing to drop $30 million behind enemy lines on a dangerous mission than $14 + a human life.
