Northrop Grumman X-47A Pegasus
Type of aircraft / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Northrop Grumman X-47 is a demonstration unmanned combat aerial vehicle. The X-47 began as part of DARPA's J-UCAS program, and is now part of the United States Navy's UCAS-D program to create a carrier-based unmanned aircraft. Unlike the Boeing X-45, initial Pegasus development was company-funded.[1] The original vehicle carries the designation X-47A Pegasus, while the follow-on naval version is designated X-47B.
