"In the discussion part I thought I'd work around a paper written by a german professor claiming that todays devellopment is leading towards radio controlled A/C! "
I've seen a lot of radio controlled aircraft crash. The problem with computers is that at the moment anyway, they do lots of things well ..... but .... they can only deal with things they know about and are programmed to recognise. If it has to deal with something the programmers haven't forseen, forget it.
