Vera cool.  That's a weird, but beautiful, looking plane.  I wish they had gone more into its flight characteristics than it did though.

Boeing's current development of the X-45A Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle, or UCAV, technology demonstrator draws directly on its Bird of Prey experience.


Wow - imagine flying one of these babies around remotely for your country.  (I know it didn't mention anything about remote piloting - just that it's unmanned.)

The Bird of Prey is manned. It's a single seat aircraft.

Interesting that it first flew six years ago. Wonder what is next... :)
