    Pilot women for combat jets are very requested, because women due less body density, support greater G-forces than men.

        Well, anyway

        The military seeks female fighter pilots for three key strategic reasons:

        First, diversity in the cockpit enhances combat effectiveness. Different perspectives and approaches to problem-solving reduce groupthink and improve threat assessment. “Having people who have reached the exact same standards, but from a completely different origin, makes finding solutions a lot more efficient as a team,” according to military aviation experts[1].

        Second, the military needs to expand its talent pool amid pilot shortages. Air Force acquisition executive Will Roper explained: “When you’re a country that’s going to face a country with a population that’s four times your own…if we begin with a recruitment population that we’ve artificially halved because of how we design our cockpits and workstations, we’ve just doubled our work”[2].

        Third, cognitive diversity strengthens risk assessment and decision-making in high-stakes situations. Research shows diverse teams spot different threats in the same situation and communicate more effectively in safety-critical environments[1:1].

          You’re getting downvoted for saying something sorta close to true, but not exactly. I agree strongly with everything you said here, though.

          Generally, with any complex human-machine interface, you want to cast as wide of a net for accommodation as possible because there are so many variables that come into play.

          Like if you are putting together a basketball team, you probably want a bunch of tall dudes, but you never know how many Muggsy Bogues’s are out there unless you let everyone play.

          For a fighter pilot, would you rather have a female with greater ability to distinguish color, or a male that can pull higher g’s? It’s impossible to say what specific traits would lead to the best outcome in all possible engagements.

          Even things like colorblindness can be a positive in situations because camouflage can stick out to colorblind people. Some types of deafness comes with immunity to motion sickness.

            Not a lie, wrong informations I got some years ago why womans are requested as jet pilots. There are no significant differences and more related to the stature of the person (distance heart-brain) and physical condition than with the gender.
