Here's the Taranis, http://www.baesystems.com/Sites/Taranis/index.htm , unveiled this week, is it the end of the piloted fighters? well it looks mean anyway!
As I've said before, I doubt that this is the end of piloted fighters. The computer system that can execute the necessary BFMs in response to a dynamically changing situation with an adaptive foe (i.e., a human being) has yet to be invented - *much less* stuffed into an aircraft and made reliable...

Smart ordinance delivery is one thing, but air-to-air combat for air superiority will be human-centric for quite some time yet...
