Another two cents
An article in a knowledgeable rotorcraft publication suggests that the current fighter aircraft under development, such as the F-22 Raptor, the RAH-66 Comanche and the Tiger may be the last manned attack aircraft. Future ones will probably be flown from the ground via satellite link.
This might be good; if the UAV ground control technology is eventually spun-off to ground trainers. These trainers might then be re-configurable, to have the characteristics of the various helicopters.
This might be bad; if eventually the need for onboard pilots, in civilian non-transportation aircraft, declines as UAVs start performing missions such as traffic reporting etc.
