of getting the humans out of the aircraft far outweigh adantages of

Is there a known percentage of how much of an airframe is dedicated to

Well for a start? No cockpit needed, no O2 system, no ejection seat, no
G load blackout. While Not a great movie, The Film "Stealth", Jammie
Foxx & Jessica Biel dealt with operating such a system. It clearly has
some advantages...
I think the main advantage will turn out to be elimination of the
G restrictions.
