X-47B – Unmanned Combat Aircraft System
The Northrop Grumman X-47B is an unmanned demonstration combat aircraft specifically designed and developed to operate from the flight deck of U.S. Navy aircraft carriers. The X-47B first flew in 2011 and carried out several operational tests in the following years completed in 2015. The X-47B was used, for example, in the test cycle on board the aircraft carrier U.S.S. George H.W. Bush (CVN-77) which involved take-off, landing, refueling in flight. To optimize use on board ships, the X-47B is equipped with foldable wings to minimize space on the crowded flight decks of aircraft carriers. It is equipped with a Pratt & Whitney turbofan engine that guarantees subsonic performance and in its two loading bays can accommodate an offensive load of over 2,000 kg.
