[@331SVTCobra]

I'd grade that landing "ok". (it's a joke. My understanding is that every landing is graded with either some shortcoming or else, if the landing was perfect, it is graded 'ok'.)

[@miketurner7269]

An "OK" landing is a "4.0" on the grading scale. Minimum deviations, minor corrections. About the best one can hope for under regular carrier conditions. But definitely not a "perfect pass". A "Fair" pass is a 3.0 - average deviations, average corrections. A solid, safe pass, but nothing to write home about. A "No Grade" pass is a 2.0 - below average deviations, below average corrections. Not that uncommon for new pilots, and occasionally rears it's head for more senior aviators who are having a bad day behind the boat. Navy pilots on their first cruise typically have mostly Fair passes with few OKs and No Grades sprinkled in there. Navy pilots on their second and subsequent deployments will typically have more OK passes interspersed with Fairs and maybe a few no grades. But there is such a thing as an "OK Underlined" - a 5.0 pass. Generally given for decent-to-good landings under unusually trying circumstances such as significant aircraft emergencies and adverse weather conditions that make the pass unusually difficult. Very rare - most Navy pilots probably have just a handful of these if any. In over 400 carrier landings, I think I have maybe 2 OK underlined passes. These are kind of like unicorns. An "OK underlined" grade is probably the closest one can get to a "perfect pass". In reality there is no such thing - there is always something about every pass that could be improved. Landing on carriers (all manual landings in my case) is the most precise thing with the lowest margin for error that I have ever participated in, but hugely rewarding when the light bulb comes on and you start flying good safe passes.

[@JustaPilot1]

The program was completed in 2015. They are in museums now.

[@stutter0372]

it was reported that the X-47B demonstrators would become museum exhibits upon completing flight testing.[8][51] In June 2015, United States Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus stated that the X-47B program should continue but that Northrop-Grumman should not gain an unfair advantage in the competition for the UCLASS contract.[52] In July 2015, the Navy stated that the X-47Bs would remain in flying condition rather than being converted to museum exhibits, allowing for a variety of follow-on evaluations

That was a stupid reply. Figure the maintenance costs on old equipment, plus the extra money spent on personnel to perform the maintenance, the fuel cost for the very fuel inefficient engines and the old heavier nom-composite airframes and wings versus replacing the fleet. It’s not like the government can’t print money to pay for it. It’s already proven it LOOOOVES to print money willy nilly. I bet a new aircraft would pay for itself in 5~6 years.

Tyranny is inevitable

[@ronliebermann]

There’s no such thing as an “Unmanned Combat Drone.” This combination of incongruent terms has been designed with specific political objectives. First of all “Unmanned” implies the opposite “Manned”. And the word “Manned” implies that machines have a human aspect. According to that logic, an F-35 has a computer and a man, so it’s partly human insofar as it “bridges the gap” between man and machine. And if you accept that argument, then even if the F-35 is “Unmanned” it’s still partially-manned by “artificial intelligence” which is a semi-human and thus morally legitimate decision-maker. Almost human. And if the F-35 has an almost human decision-maker on board, then the entire machine is almost human. So it deserves the same careful protection offered to any human. Obviously an F-35 can fly, but it can’t make decisions because it’s only a machine. Circuit boards aren’t human. So machines can’t “engage” in combat. They can only respond to user inputs. A laptop computer can’t love you, or hate you, or fight you. It’s not human. An F-35 can’t “combat” anything. But if an F-35 with artificial intelligence “hates” you, then it can combat. It’s a hating, almost human, morally qualified, decision-maker. Robocop. Now imagine that the Pentagon put a bunch of human brains into an aquarium, and then wired them to the F-35. Those brains are human, so they can hate. And they have a good internet connection, so they’re fully human, hating, morally qualified decision makers who “project” their consciousness into the real world for the purpose of killing real people whose brains don’t occupy a remote place of physical safety. They can’t lose. The word “Drone” means an autonomous machine. So now there’s an [Unmanned by a physical human]-[Combat as psychological warfare]-[Drone which can’t be held responsible for anything because it’s actions can’t be traced to the human minds which are the true source of control]. The Matrix. Israel has huge underground medical facilities where these brains are kept alive. Thousands of them. Japan also. Russia also. The D.O.D. Rocky Mountain Underground also. Finding and destroying a hundred thousand pickled brains is impossible. It can’t be done. But turning-off all the electricity in the world for a hundred years CAN be done. It’s the only choice.
