World’s largest airplane. It’s being built by a billionaire. It’s getting ready to fly.

[QUOTE="Dave70968, post: 3147232, member: 13624"] Like Voyager, the F-16 is inherently unstable. Stability inhibits performance; stability is literally the aircraft's resistance to change, and change is the definition of maneuverability. Stability is necessary when the pilot can't respond quickly enough to an undesired change; when Robby the Robot is flying, he can respond more quickly than Harry the Human can even notice the change. Robby completes the OODA loop and restarts before Harry even observes. [/QUOTE]
