The B2 and X29 has proven we can do aerodynamic controls real time with predictive algorithms, but there's no brick walls or jumping telephone poles to avoid at altitude.

Avoiding the suprise deer is difficult, worse when the response is slower because aircraft don't turn really fast. Come to think of it cars are only marginally more responsive at speed.

I exceed 10 meters/sec up once, really scared me thought I would break the plane. Never from a power plant since they are restricted airspace here.
