The A3-001 is from Saab, not Subaru.
It's a "fighter"? Are we imagining drones dogfighting? What's it's main target?
Some of the constraints imposed on fighter jets is life support and G-force limitations for the pilot. Removing the pilot and allowing an on-board computer handle things in the moment (e.g. dogfights) gives an unmanned jet the upper hand.
It's obviously a step toward completely automated war machines, but that's the justification for the "unmanned fighter jet"
CCAs or collaborative combat aircraft are the new hotness in military aviation. Basically smaller unmanned fighter jets that work alongside a traditional manned fighter. The idea is that you can have maybe 4 or 5 fighter jets worth of capability but only one of them has a human pilot on board. So the manned fighter can hang back and tell a farther forward one to fire a missile. Is it a wunderwaffen? Is it a boondoggle? Idk man
Wildberries.
Got to replace the head gaskets every 10 flights.
A lot of companies in Japan have a heavy industries branch or similar. Yamaha has all kinds of verticals as they're happy to sell you a piano or a motorcycle (or both!)
Major Japanese companies have insane levels of diversification
Mitsubishi and it's offshoots has made everything at one point or another. Paper, drugs, TVs, cars, tanks, planes, submarines...
... one of the best fighter planes of World War II...
Subaru used to be a part of Fuji Heavy Industries, who actually started out making aircraft. They've since been renamed to simply "Subaru Corporation", apparently.
the advantage of drones is their low price, not the fact fhat they are unmanned
Now I'll know if the plane overhead is piloted by a lesbian! Nice!
