The next generation will be able to do those things. I would even say that the human pilot was a weak spot in the last generation of fighters. I think the F-16 had limits in its computerized flight controls to protect the pilot instead of protecting the airframe. I don't know about the F-22, but I wouldn't be surprised if it has the same problem.

I think the F-16 had limits in its computerized flight controls to protect the pilot instead of protecting the airframe. It does. I've been "into" the functional diagrams of the F-16s flight control system, in order to be able to simulate the overall aircraft control loop. It was the old analog one from the F-16A/B, but the digital was does the same, AFAIK.
