UAV testing
I listened to a very interesting talk from 39 Squadron on the Reaper last night. As you'd expect you leave with a million questions, etc.
One subject that I wondered if people here know much about is how are these things tested? I understand that the USAF are investigating the possibility of deploying UAV in fighter roles - but as these UAV's are flown remotely isn't there a big problem of over stressing the airframe as you simply can't feel / nor have any consequence to extreme handling?
