    A reminder that mach 3.5 jet aircraft were flying around in the mid 60s before we had computer chips.

    That was 60 years ago now. and 60 years before that, the airplane had only been around a year or so.

    We would not believe the prototype shit that is flying around today.

      once you reach ‘unmanned’ craft, the capabilities can get silly. the pilot being able to function in the G forces used to be a major limiting factor. remote-control meant limiting capabilities to what a human could comprehend. now we’re well past that too.
