There have been, in my estimation, at least a couple of fictional implementations of thought-controlled aircraft with the professed quality of increased responsiveness over the now-conventional fly-by-wire HOTAS.
With me being a fan of the Ace Combat franchise, the first such fictional scheme that comes to my mind is the windowless COFFIN system in Ace Combat 3 although I think the attached Su-37 render is perhaps in need of a panoramic camera array to regain at least some of the situation awareness lost with the lack of a transparent canopy, adding to equipment requirement and complexity.
I'm also aware of the titular superfighter from the film Firefox although the thought-controlled system is limited to fire control.
What is your favourite idea of a thought-controlled aircraft?
