Paul, et al. - I'm thinking decades out, and expect we will have 'drones' that can outperform manned fighters. A big design constraint on the performance envelope is the need to limit the blackout period for the human in the can.

re size: they can be made smaller w/o a human inside - how small depends on ordnance, performance, dwell time and etc.

the big shift, underway already, is the idea that the "various abilities of the organism" can be shifted into separate bodies -- the eyes are in one package, the fist in another, the brain is in Nevada -- that will change everything as it continues
