I think the reason we still have manned aircraft is because manned aircraft actually are still useful, they fulfill a different niche from unmanned aircraft, and the fact that most militaries are broadly pursuing the same priorities as we are is instructive

and it's not like we're ignoring things like unmanned aircraft either. We have an enormous number of drones, drones are being pushed down to the lowest level tactical formations--battalion and now even company and perhaps soon squad size elements have organic UAVs

There used to be more on .gov sites, but most of that got deleted - although I don't think it verified the "lightspeed motorcycles". Nobody would know or care were it not for M*colm Gl*dwell bringing it up in 'Blink' for whatever shit he was on about at the time.

"Intractable org problems" are often a result of being suckered by a charlatan. Look at US Navy's troubles with the LCS and DDX.
