bang for the buck........ no pilot, no human stress, or fatigue. elimination of a potential physical combat casualty /injury. loiter time over target for days, or longer w/ aerial refueling. a prudent program, but i think the next ace will be on an office chair. |

Looks a lot like the Navy's new X-47B UAV. See images and some commentary over on Air Show Buzz. http://www.asb.tv/forums/index.php?showtopic=6510 Regards, Mark |
