Here’s a sweet video of the new X-47B drone being developed into a battlefield ready aircraft after successful testing of the X-47B during carrier operations.

The drone was so successful that the initial 50 test flights were reduced to 16. After the program was complete, the Navy expressed some concerns about cost, and insufficient stealth capabilities. Development of the X-47C is now in development for the UCLASS program.
