Without a Pilot? We Can Fly

United States (U.S.) is famous for great in developing military technology. U.S. trying to maintain its reputation as a superpower, the U.S. announced the successful maiden flight unmanned stealth aircraft, the X-47B.
Jet X-47B is designed by Northrop Grumman's manufacturing for the U.S. Navy. In test flights, this sophisticated bombers were in the air for 29 minutes and reached an altitude of 5000 feet.

Innards of this aircraft thick with robotics technology because it does not require pilots to operate them. Indeed, previous existing aircraft with similar technologies such as Predator or Reaper.

But the X-47B more sophisticated level because it can not be detected radar and able to fly much faster. In addition, the plane was able to fly and land on the ship, something called a very hard done by unmanned aircraft.

Developed since 2007, the cost of manufacture of X-47B to reach 395 million pounds. It can be programmed to fly itself to the target set to a distance of thousands of miles. Computers in them is said to be able to control the takeoff, landing and refueling in the air.

This technology is a breakthrough from the U.S. Navy created the first unmanned jet that could take off and land on the flight deck of the ship. This can be called extraordinary stealth aircraft.
