X-47 Pegasus Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle

Northrop Grumman X-47B UCAS

Thou shalt not f*ck with America!

Roll out of the X-47B was at Air Force Plant 42 in Palmdale, California on December 16, 2008. It is planned to have a three year test program at Edwards AFB, California and NAS Patuxent River, Maryland, culminating in sea trials in November 2011. The X-47B carries no weapons, but it has a full-sized weapons bay. It is that same size and weight as an operational vehicle would be, in order to provide realistic testing.

The proper question to be asked during the current Federal-Government bailout frenzy is not whether an industry is too big to be allowed to fail. It is, rather, whether an industry is too important to be allowed to fail.
