The X-47B Drone Has Landed on a Carrier, And War May Never Be the Same
It's not often that we get to witness aviation history being made, but when we do, it's often awesome. Such is the case with the U.S. Navy's X-47B which just became the first unmanned aircraft to land on an aircraft carrier. (gizmodo.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
The last fighter pilot has already been born....
Wait until the first robots come out replacing the average grunt in the field.
Cylon Centurions?
Higher unemployment.
Amazing what's next ??
It took three times looking at it, but the drone caught the #1 wire. LSO wouldn't like that. If he had anyone to tell about it:)
It caught the #2 wire, which is exactly where it needed to be. Look abeam the props of the COD on the port side, and you'll see the housing for the #1 wire and that wire remains stretched across the deck. The #2 wire is abeam the tail of the COD, and the #3 wire is visible just above the Seahawk's folded rotor blades. This was a good landing.
Yea, but the "pilot was in a bar in downtown Minniapolis with 20 georgeous women all around not looking at an LSO and a boat full of old buffalo. Go'head and yell cmdr. Le'me turn down the volume a bit.
