Imagine how many unmanned aircraft you stack in a carrier. Stack em up like Frisbees.

More range, longer hang time, no or few G-problems.., greater payload, even kamikaze options, could be cheaper costs on some or all models, an unplanned for threat, benefits not even known now..., a game changer.. etc..

An unmanned drone landing on a pitching carrier?
I can see why they’re making such a fuss.

The F/A-18 Super Hornet can land itself on a pitching carrier without pilot assistance.
No self respecting naval aviator will allow it to do so.

Sounds like you and I are the only ones who remember the B-47. It was quite and airplane and filled the gap between the B-36 and the B-52.
