The Navy's X-47B UCAS demonstrator recently completed its next phase of flight tests. The unmanned aircraft was launched from the deck of the USS George H W Bush (CVN-77), and performed a touch and go landing before recovering backs at its shore base. Next step is a launch and full, arrested, recovery back aboard ship.
Maverick and Goose are going from the Danger Zone to the pile of discarded parts and pieces pretty soon. How sad.
