X-47B completes initial flight test in Maryland


It is the most modern drone currently flying to my knowledge and will give the US Navy a leg up when it becomes operational.    You can find more pictures and background information on the plane here.  Because it is unmanned it has a much longer flight radius that will allow the US to launch attacks from carriers well out of the range of enemy aircraft.
