Drones
The
Navy's unmanned fighter completed its first aerial refueling Wednesday, the
first of the aircraft's final tests before it's retired to make way for the
next generation of carrier-launched drones. The X-47B received over 4,000 lbs.
of fuel from an Omega K-707 tanker aircraft, unmanned carrier aviation program
manager Capt. Beau Duarte said, while flying off the coast of Maryland and
Virginia from Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Maryland.
