@requiem957 if you loose control, you leave.
With that much power and no control the aircraft could have went into high-positive or negative-g, G-LOCing the pilot, rendering him unable to eject.

... And that's why they call it "artificial intelligence"....

@requiem957 They made 2 actually, the other one is in a museum in Germany. I'm guessing you've never flown a plane before; suddenly losing control of something like that is freaky, and I probably would've been spooked too (enough to eject anyways). And I would think you could laugh at that, because had another one right? ;) Not to mention they already had most of the data they wanted, which was later used to develop the F-22 and similar planes.

@Ryukaschien I know right?! I'm giddy as a school girl! XD

@LeadGuardian The fact that it ACTUALLY TRIED to stabilize the aircraft is just...(SQUEALS) XDDD.

@jtrod2007 Yep, same reason several Airbus's have crashed.

@MichaelCox It looks small but then it isn´t as small as those ultra-lights for which the chutes are built. It would be to heavy and I guess the speeds at which this aircraft moves would be to high for the chute. The pressure of the Airspeed could damage the chute. It's empty weight is 4,6 Tons and 6,3 fully fueled up. One of those chutes I found was certified for 0,7 Tons and a maximum Speed of 250 km/h.
this is why human interface will always be required. computers screw up, everyone thinks those systems cannot fail, they are right . it never failed, but it never got the correct information, so i didnt work correctly, next time use a fricken off switch.

And that was the first time a computer struggled to stay alive. :D
