In high-stakes modern defence aviation, reaction times decide outcomes. As cockpit technology evolves, we have optimized engines, airframes, and radar to the edge of physics. Yet one critical constraint remains unchanged: human biology. To move beyond this limit, engineers are turning to the fastest communication channel in the human body: the sense of touch.
