It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it
was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it
was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it
was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it
was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we
had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we
were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going the
other way – in short, the period was so far like the present
period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its
being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative
degree of comparison only.

Franval who lived in Paris, where he was born,
possessed, along with an income of 400,000 livres, the
finest figure, the most pleasant face and the most varied
talents; but beneath this attractive exterior lay hidden
every vice, and unfortunately those of which the adoption
and habitual indulgence lead so rapidly to crime. An
imagination more unbridled than anything one can depict
was Franval’s prime defect; men of this kind do not mend
their ways, the decline of power makes them worse; the
less they do, the more they undertake; the less they
achieve, the more they invent; each age brings new ideas,
and satiety, far from cooling their ardour, only prepares
the way for more fatal refinements.

I know I shall meet my fate
Somewhere among the clouds above;
Those that I fight I do not hate,
Those that I guard I do not love;
My country is Kiltartan Cross,
My countrymen Kiltartan’s poor,
No likely end could bring them loss
Or leave them happier than before.
Nor law, nor duty bade1 me fight,
Nor public men, nor cheering crowds,
A lonely impulse of delight
Drove to this tumult in the clouds;
I balanced all, brought all to mind,
The years to come seemed waste of breath,
A waste of breath the years behind
In balance with this life, this death.

Oh, I’ve just come from the land of the sun
From a war that must be won
In the name of truth
With our soldiers so brave
Your freedom we will save
With our rifles and grenades
And some help from God
I want to see my family
My wife and child waiting for me
I’ve got to go home
I’ve been so alone you see
You just can’t believe
The joy I did receive
When I finally got my leave
And I was going home
Oh, I flew through the sky
My convictions could not lie
For my country I would die
And I will see it soon
When I walked through the door
My wife she laid upon the floor
And with tears her eyes were sore
I did not know why
Then I looked into her hand
And I saw the telegram
Said that I was a brave, brave man
But that I was dead

Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, caused
something of a stir at the annual Air Force Association’s
Air Warfare Symposium in Orlando, Florida. During an
informal ‘fireside chat’ with Lt. Gen. John Thompson of
Space Command on Friday, Musk told a room packed
with fighter pilots that “the fighter jet era has passed”.
Now, Musk is renowned for finding soundbites for the
media to hook onto, and also of causing calculated
disruption in his target audience, but even by his
standards this is a well-baited line. What makes this such
a bold and controversial statement?
The contemporary battlefield is far more networked,
complex, congested and lethal – it’s those that adapt that
will survive. Simply being ‘a good stick’ will rapidly no
longer cut it in the hostile skies of the future.
Musk’s main thrust is, however, that the human in
the cockpit is the limiting factor in air combat now, not the
advantage.
Firstly, humans are awkward for aircraft designers to
accommodate. In a modern fighter the pilot sits on an
ejection seat for emergency escape, needs an oxygen
supply and air-conditioning to function at extremes of
temperature and altitude, and requires flight controls and
instruments to fly and fight the machine. All of these add
a significant amount of weight and cost into the aircraft.
Moreover, having a transparent canopy to permit the crew
to see out does little to improve signature management1
as radar cross section and the chances of reflected sun
glint all increase. The human also adds more weight,
especially when encumbered with flight kit such as
helmet, NVGs, g-suit and flight planning and survival
equipment. Traditionally, pilots sit toward the front of the
aircraft to afford them the best view for take-off and
landing, as well as air combat. This has implications on
aerodynamics, stealth1 design and weight distribution
factors. In short, it can make the designers life a lot
simpler if the pilot/crew are not in the aircraft.

Vocabulary:
1. Signature management and stealth: both terms refer to technology that reduces the likelihood of personnel, aircrafts, missiles, etc. being detected.
