Robot is planning to stealth aircraft in the United States

The US Navy is about to test the robotic automatic stealth aircraft.

The X-47B is an unmanned military stealth aircraft designed and built by experts from the Northrop Grumman Group for five years. It will be able to take off on its own, perform pre-programmed missions, and return to the command base from the control center on the ground. With a range of 3,200 kilometers, the aircraft can fly continuously for 6 hours, the US Navy website reported.

The X-47B has a range of 3,200km, a flight time of 6 hours and the ability to radar.

The biggest difference between the X-47B and other automatic planes is the X-47B, which can be operated by a robot called the Control Display Unit. With the same shape as the box, this robot has the ability to make decisions - like making and changing routes, directions. Of course, people will define tasks and goals for the aircraft. But in the course of their mission, they will use a global positioning device to guide, special sensors to avoid collisions with other objects, and automatic steering systems to operate.

Technician put the X-47B on the deck of USS Harry S. Truman on 26/11.

The test version of the X-47B was put on board the USS Harry S. Truman on November 26th so that the US Navy could test its takeoff capability from its carrier. As planned, the tests will begin in the New Year. Navy officials hope the X-47B will take off and land on successful trials.

Currently the X-47B has no weapons, but it is designed to contain bombs and surveillance equipment. It can carry two 900kg bombs. The X-47C, the later version of the X-44B, will be capable of carrying up to 4,500 kg bombs. Because the aircraft does not need a pilot, engineers will not equip it with aids so that people can breathe normally when flying on high.
