As illustrated in Figure 2, when planning for breakthrough flight, there is no need to
constrain designs to match the legacy conventions derived from prior vehicles. In the
case of both the airplane and the helicopter, the control inputs available to the pilot are
specific to the mechanisms of the control surfaces. When projecting breakthough flight,
it is assumed that the controls will be tailored to match the natural characteristics of
pilots, and the propulsion system will be designed to perform accordingly.
