MIT OpenCourseWare
A special lecture from MIT's Private Pilot Ground School in which Lt. Col. Randy Gordon, a fighter and test pilot, describes F-22 flight controls. Topics include thrust vectoring, the pilot command system and how software handles failures.
Recommended as a fascinating insider account of how the F-22's software makes it easier to fly than a Cessna.
