The aircraft flew up to speeds of 1,200mph. DARPA did not reveal which aircraft won the dogfight.

Jets are far more powerful than humans are capable of controlling. Flight suits and training can only do so much to keep the pilot from blacking out.

Can they be piloted remotely? Or would that be too dangerous with latency

Yes they can. Before AI the US was expecting to move to remote piloted jets

Expecting to? We’ve been using remote piloted jets for twenty years.

That's not the case yet for fighters, just things like predator drones and global hawk

So really just surveillance and delivery of a couple of light air to surface missiles, most reported on for assassinations
