X-47B 'stealth drone' hoped to be first carrier-borne unmanned aircraft

X-47B 'stealth drone' hoped to be first carrier-borne unmanned aircraft | Mail Online: "A stealth drone set to be the world's first unmanned, robot aircraft piloted by artificial intelligence rather than a remote human operator has taken to the sea for tests. If the futuristic killer drone completes all its sea trials then it will be first aircraft capable of autonomously landing onto an aircraft carrier.

In flight: The X-47B has a claimed unrefuelled range of 2,000 miles and a flight endurance of more than six hours

In development for five years, the X-47B drone is designed to take off, fly a pre-programmed mission then return to base in response to a few mouse clicks from its operator."
