X-47B carrier demo

[Wishcumstrue]

In sharp contrast with recent China's first baby-step into operating jets from its LiaoNing carrier, US Navy has began conducting taxi demo for Northrop Grumman X-47B onboard USS Harry S. Truman (CVN-75) since 9 Dec.

 

If the test is successful, the first carrier-based fighter-size UAV catapult launch is expected early next year.
