And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms.

Computers. The modern fly-by-wire fighters are essentially on some degree of autopilot all of the time. The F-35 has thrust controlled roll, pitch and yaw when in hoover plus up and down.
Technology must progress; when we entered WW2, we were getting killed by the Japanese Zero until planes such as the P38, Hellcat, Corsair, and Mustang were part of our arsenal. But we must also be diligent with such development budgets

What keeps it level????
