Looks like the Americans won the debrief.

Seriously, two different teams have both achieved some very impressive things with technology that could revolutionise parts of military and transport aviation in decades to come. Whether it will of-course, remains to be seen.

I don't think it'll put pilots out of work, but it might in the long term change the nature of some pilots jobs - but that's been happening constantly due to technology changes since about 1912 anyway and needs understanding rather than panicking about.
