Why is being prop-driven a requirement, afraid the people on the ground
will fall asleep during aircraft operations?  Using a prop limits the
aircraft to much lower airspeeds than current fighters.  I think there's
been one or two exotic birds that have operated about Mach 1

Why not build an air-superiority fighter with an open cockpit?
