Default RE: When does a RC plane become a drone?


Millions of passengers fly in U A V's. They are call modern airliners. Modern fighters. Computers fly the planes point to point in any type of weather and land in fog or darkness. Pilots useually are not skilled enough to manually bypass all the stability programs to fly or land sucessfully.
New military planes are all switched to U A V. Human pilots can not take the G forces needed in combat. Robots will rule completly. They have no fear or desertion rate. Ideal soldier.

U A V always has meant NO human at the controls INSIDE the plane. A pilot controling the plane outside of the plane is also considered a U A V. Why risk a expensive pilot in a plane crash ?
