    The 9G limit is programmed. One F-16 airforce bypassed the limiter and pulled over 12 G's, and RTB. Another user pulled over 9 when crossing the transonic zone while pulling out of a dive. RTB was normal.

    Then you really need to read the 2 books in the Yukikaze series, By Chohei Kambayashi..(supposedly now 3 books?).. Where our own most advanced AI computers, in fighting a war with a largely unknown & unseeable alien existence, known as the JAM, soon start to decide that humans & our humanity is an impediment, and after keeping secret from us that the JAM have been making entreaties & approaches to all the various human sides AI's, they (our AI's) start finding ways to ignore, circumvent, and eventually deceive us humans..and our intended strategic & military directives, and decietfully deciding that they ultimately have more in common with the JAM, (a non-comporeal entity, but with far superior awareness & quantum capabilities, including interdimentional travel) and the opening of interdimentional gates to other worlds & world/planet-like constructs of their own.. Which is how we first learned of them..when they open an interdimentional passageway in Antarctica, and their first known attack on humanity began..on the Mcmurdo base on the Ross ice shelf. It's also got a 5 disc anime cartoon series, by Bandai/Maddog, that while a lot thinner in plot than the original books, and cutting a lot of the deeper story out for the sake of action, (which leaves you to wonder a lot, if you only watch the anime first..as you don't get much backstory or history with the anime), and thus you'll be only getting a small part of the overall story, and a more localized experience within the world & the JAM war, from the point of view of Rai Fukai, pilot of SAF unit B-3 'Yukikazi' a new & highly sentient AI core fighter/recon aircraft called a super sylph.. Yukikaze was specially designed, specifically to be very sensitive to the JAM..to detect & recognise them, and all of their signatures, essence and their various constructs..and to evolve to further sentience & maturity as an AI, as it learns, in conjunction with their pilots and their shared wartime experiences..they grow & experience combat together..with the emphasis on that shared combat experience, and its value in improving human survival knowledge & awareness, in war with the JAM, and thus directing further human ideas, strategies, designs & war plans Our more normal AI intelligences, that sift, sort & analyze all the data to help detirmine much of these concerns, on return from each fighter's missions, and use it all to form a big picture of awareness, all sensor-fused & network centric warfare integrated into ever more advanced warfighting and survival strategies for use against the clearly far superior alien enemy, that just seems to be almost toying with humanity..while presenting it a costly 3 decades long fighting war between worlds..ours & theirs. Or so we thought..But I won't give much away here. No spoilers. Ultimately, Yuzikaze becomes far more sentient than was ever predicted or intended by her military industrial complex makers, though..and essentially becomes a new, composite lifeform..far less AI, and considerably more sentient, and Rai must learn to meld with her much closer than ever before, because the JAM have noticed the danger that Yukikaze poses, and that Rai himself now also trusting her as he now implicitly does, and has begun targeting them both directly, and are taking a decidedly dangerous interest in this new & complex pair of warfighting JAM hunters, learning to trust & meld with each other in ways ordinary people & humanity does not.. The AI all see this..the JAM see all this..and all on our side are fighting for self-survival..But not all equally..and they all have their own concerns. Where will our AI creations betray us? Will they all decide to equally? How much human complicity & treachery is involved..And will Yukikaze allow any of them to get away with it!? "..Yukikaze says, it's an enemy.."

    @@mikewaterfield3599 Hacking a FLYING F-16 or F-35 or any other high end jets.... is as good as winning the Lottery. Possible, highly unlikely. The US has been working on the F-16s on the various DARPA aerial activities for close to 2 decades now. Only now that that AI, programming, and super computation --- two/three sides of the same coin, if you will ---- are maturing to a point where complex programs are able to make self-correction and improvement without humans putting every small in-put by hand. If you asked CHATGPT or BARD/GEMINI to do calculus or chemistry, when they first came out, a lot of times, those programs churned out very wrong, nonsensical answers. Right now, after just 2 iterations, they are already very good. Math problems are easy to see why improvements could be done so quickly; but a lot of Chemistry problems, however, are haphazardly WORDED word problems, with only the most rudimentary numbers... and, yet, these programs could follow our non-concise VERBAL DESCRIPTIONS good enough to churn out perfectly good, fast answers! I was surprised when it could do chemistry problems, with molecular compounds written rather haphazardly in letters and numbers in very minimally standardize manners... Imagine how good they'd be in another 15 - 20 years, of constant improvement! Ditto for AI.

    Even the Raptor may have issues versus an X-62A considering it isn't a regular F-16D. It's been upgraded with a new engine with more power and 360° thrust vectoring paired with state of the art avionics allowing it to be flown by AI but also mimic the flight characteristics of any jet in the air (including the raptor). It's so unique that the raptor will never get an AI pilot, however the NGAD fighter in development that's slated to replace the F-22 most likely will.

If your talking about the thing that would be the actual new and difficult thing to event of a missile that could maneuver at hypersonic speed then nobody has it.

    The same F-16 with thrust vectoring... and now, AI? Kinda seems unfair. Adding the ccv's canards would've been redundant maneuverability overkill but gawk factor galory, nonetheless. The advent of AI technology in next gen fighter aircraft is welcomed and insane at the same time. Will factor out human error, yet at the same time, become an adversary worst nightmare.

It'll react very rapidly to those bvr missiles and save itself.

    One thing AI will never understand or be able to control is the 'element of surprise' or hte (see what I did there!) the human's ability to do something random (free will) and then take the control of it's course back. Ai's choices are so finite even with it's seemingly infinite resources. Another amazing thing about humans is that we learn as much from our failures than our successes! AI will never figure that out how to just experiment with something fail and then 'figure it out' -- Ask Elon! 🤔

    This is the Way of the Walk for the future. Aircraft like an F-16which is "Fly by Wire" flown by an A.I. as the plane is built double redundancies and can take 20G forces. The Moist water based Carbon Human Pilot would be dead sitting on the couch trying that. The "System" is built to protect the Pilot and stays within these constraints. The A.I. without a pilot won 11-12 engagements. The only time the human won? He tried to Ram the other plane. Great Expenditure! Sorry mostly water meat bag. The Main Battle Tank will see a unit as slim as possible and just missiles. The Last of the Gun Fighters. However the close air support role? Still belongs to the "WartHog" A-10. You need boots on the ground and a Huge Cannon over head that can switch on a dime whether to drop bombs or shoot. I was there and saw this in Action. Wow! Just..gone! Problem Solved!

    AI plane would probably enable a return of ball turret design in air superiority fighter. Currently it's too much workload for a pilot to aim and fly maneuver at the same time, so you end up have to rely on tricky maneuver to aim your gun to the target and avoid getting aim. But AI wouldnt have such attention limitation, they could probably aim a ball turret and shoot toward the back of the plane even if it was flying forward. Effectively the plane become a mini b-2 flying fortress that can engage target at any direction. Although fixed mount cannon of fighter plane usually have longer range than ball turret machine gun. The traditional dog fight trade off would probably change dramatically if they design airplane that take advantage of AI's unique property

Which in my fiction the main boss AI of the setting was inocuslly placed in the USAF academy combat sims by the US gov to test him in combat but also find canidits for the gen 6 hypersonic fighter program by well letting him cheat as the only thing he is best at is hacking not pilotry... A fragment of the AI will however be one of the best pilots of ww3(2024-2025) in a New York Air national guard Reaper drone able to kill littlery anything he wanted and he did it two hell firs at a time. And would get modifications to his frame to turn his reaper into an air sumpremcy fighter which would be the basis of the front line fighters moving on in the setting.

    fascinating! I see where this is going. the F-16 has already been performance limited to the pilot's body. an adversary will have no chance if that limit can be removed to the structural limit of even this 50 year old aircraft. plus, protecting the pilot is no longer a concern so greater risks can be taken that the adversary can ill afford. pilots can still add human intuition by coordinating missions remotely while the AI perfectly executes the tactics. adversaries will eventually copy this. by then we'll again be a step, preferably two, ahead. I may have gripes but I ❤America 🇺🇸
