Aircraft technology has been constantly under refinement since the first successful flight. Fly-by-wire is the complete replacement of the mechanical linkages between the pilot's stick and the control surface actuators by electrical signal wires, which offers a convenient and logical solution to many of the control system problems associated with modern high performance aircraft and aerospace vehicles. However, there exists a strong reluctance on the part of both pilots and flight control system…

The predecessor to the F-4 Phantom II was the F-3H Demon. In 1953, McDonnell took the Demon and set out to improve on it to create…

are aircrafts that can be controlled remotely or through pre-programmed missions. Drones are mostly slow moving but they have a huge advantage of the conventional aircrafts. The difference between conventional aircrafts and drones are the fact that drones can stay airborne for up to several days at a time while conventional aircrafts just cannot. They have also been putting much work into reconnaissance technology and missile strike capabilities which is an extremely useful piece of military…
