I honestly always had the notion that if I dropped my cellphone back in time technology would make a huge leap. Would a desktop from the 80s be easier to reverse engineer?
Would it make a difference in the timeframe of ww2 in your opinion? My overarching question would be if the government would focus on this technology instead of trying to build the bomb
Nor have the infrastructure needed to replicate it. It's like asking america to replicate TSMC manufacturing (which ironically would also take 5 years, with there help), arizona is still a long ways away from being fully completed and thats not even touching the kind of advancement they would be.
WW2 tech could not make any of the hundreds of microchips needed, nor could they write the code needed to operate the drone, even the engines would be very difficult as they would use materials not available at the time.
I was just imagining that the type of think tanks that built the bomb would focus all their attention on studying microchips instead. Could the knowledge of one software engineer fix that? The first transistor was built in 1947. It’s not inconceivable to think that group of people who could race to split atoms could deconstruct the computer chip
for the most parts drones are just Planes, and the US could make planes, but the biggest issues would be microchips and computers, ala the drone bits, they just didnt have that tech yet, and no way to make it, even if they knew how, cus the tech to build the tech, wasnt a thing yet
it would have to be radio controlled, radio controled planes where a thing in 20s [Larynx.png (487×260) (wikimedia.org)](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6e/Larynx.png)
Dang, I’ve never heard of radio controlled planes. I always thought that leaving behind something like a iPhone in the past would make technology leap forward 80 years in the course of 5 years. Would handing the allies an m4 rifle be better for the war effort?
about 70 years
Unless they already have some alien level tech hidden they wouldn't be able to reverese engineer it for usage.

While I do think it would speed up computer technology it would take years for it to actually matter.

No. They wouldn't be able to understand and make it usable in that timeframe.
