Description
Nov. 29, 2012 - Launch crew prepares a X-47B Unmanned Combat Air System (UCAS) demonstrator for its first land-based catapult launch. The Navy's first-ever steam catapult launch of the pilotless X-47B ensures the vehicle can structurally handle the rigors of the aircraft-carrier environment.
Thats some cute curvy shape, the landing gear looks heavy
Iirc, most carrier-based aircrafts' landing gear are much stronger and heavier than their landbased counterparts, an example would be the CF-18's landing gear compared to the F-18
Drones will never replace pilots. Well, not if I have anything to say about it, which I don't so my argument is invalid.
of course not, androids will!
