As a flight systems engineer with NASA experience, I’ve studied how wartime innovations shape today’s tech. This deep dive reveals how the V-1 flying bomb—once a terror weapon—laid the blueprint for autonomous drones, AI targeting, and real-time trajectory control. From Berlin to modern battlefields, the evolution of aerial autonomy began not in labs, but in war. Discover the hidden logic behind today’s stealth swarms—and why every pilot must understand this legacy.

As a aerospace engineer and flight systems designer, I’ve spent years decoding how wartime innovation shapes today’s unmanned combat tech. This deep dive reveals how the V-1 flying bomb’s flawed yet visionary design laid the foundation for modern drone autonomy, AI pathfinding, and loitering munitions. From Berlin’s skies to AI-powered strike drones in Ukraine—this is not just history; it’s the blueprint of tomorrow’s warfare. Explore the hidden legacy behind every autonomous aircraft you see today.
