The X-47 Story: Navy Unmanned Combat Aircraft.
Paving the Way for Unmanned Carrier Aviation. The Navy Unmanned Combat Air System Carrier Demonstration (UCAS-D) with the Northrop Grumman X-47B performed the first-ever catapult launch, airspace/deck operations, and arrested recovery aboard an aircraft carrier of a tailless, unmanned,
autonomous aircraft, and later pioneered unmanned, autonomous aerial refueling. Together with its X-47A predecessor, these programs demonstrated technologies for Navy Unmanned Combat Aircraft. Learn about the history and accomplishments of these programs and former Navy UCAS Chief Engineer John Whittenbury.
