Wow, that is cool, now I don't want to hear anyone whining about F18's being tough to land anymore! LOL

Is this the Tam's F-18 that was a joint BV project or something like that? It's cool no doubt, I think there is a thread somewhere here discussing this at great length.

Older video (not real old though).


This was a planned departure of that surface and the computer knew how to compensate for this particular issue. Shows that future technology may work but further testing is needed where the computer doesn't know ahead of time what will happen.
