I love the next wave ....
Sounds like it will be an exciting time to be flying.
I can understand as we move forward, that inputs will tell the system what we want, and the system willl attempt to give it to us, as you describe, especially ina combat situation, you would want to have your eyes outside (or on sensors) as much as possible. The combat rule still applies "he who sees/finds the other first ..."
Nick, I wondered about the feasibility of designing a one handed control for the heli, all that might be needed now is a push/pull "slider" for the cyclic assembly to manage or input collective to the system, was there any thoughts to that type of setup, or did remaining with a electrice collective with switches on it (HOTAS for heli's) remain the best option at this time?
