How Has Maneuverability Shaped Combat Aircraft Design, and How It Might Shape Fixed-Wing Interceptor Drones and Interception as a Whole.

The Illustrated essay begins with a brief overview of the evolution of aerial warfare and the historical role of maneuverability in aviation. It then discusses the rapid evolution of unmanned systems n the context of the war in Ukraine, before presenting my own perspective on how high-maneuverability drone interceptors could allow different interception geometries and swarm tactics .

Abstract

The Illustrated essay begins with a brief overview of the evolution of aerial warfare and the historical role of maneuverability in aviation. It then discusses the rapid evolution of unmanned systems n the context of the war in Ukraine, before presenting my own perspective on how high-maneuverability drone interceptors could allow different interception geometries and swarm tactics .
