As I understand it, they done this in simulation, and the human pilots did not fare well.
I don't know of the computer aircraft were able to fly beyond human limits (i.e. they don't black out) or not. If the computers can actually fly to what the airframe is capable of, they would have a distinct advantage over the human pilots.
- bloqs 2mo agoThey did a small set of tests with one Pilot IIRC?
- stackskipton 2mo agoI think they did it in simulation with several. In any case, dogfighting is commonly done because it's great training but in most cases, you expect most Air to Air combat being flinging missiles at each other.

- psunavy03 2mo agoThe simulator is not the aircraft.
- FrustratedMonky 2mo agoSimulator tech has come a long way. I wouldn't say a simulator invalidates the result.
- bronco21016 2mo agoThe first time an airline pilot flies a new aircraft type in the real world they fly it with a plane full of passengers. All the training up to that point is done in a simulator. Now that first flight is with an experienced training captain but the point is the simulator is good enough that the FAA has signed off on using that as the primary training device. It's been this way for at least 25 years.
- pbhjpbhj 2mo agoMany of the crash reports from the likes of Mentor Pilot on YouTube call out insufficient type-experience as a cause of accidents. Sometimes it's "the same" type, but the manufacturers manipulated the situation, the changes mean unfamiliarity and that leads to deaths. Not giving pilots live training on new types is for financial reasons. It doesn't cause more deaths than the cost differential between training and compensation allow for.

- budman1 2mo agowith respect to assessing tactics, it is very close.
