More from AVWeb:

"Diamond Aircraft says it's very close to flying a fly-by-wire version of its Austro-diesel-powered DA42 twin. ... This technology, says Dries, will be incorporated into the autopilot and he believes it will eventually evolve to include both flight envelope protection and full autoland capability for the DA42."

So, a V1 that can fly without a pilot. Didn't they make something like that in Wiener Neustadt in the 1940's?
