  • What a faggot plane........

  • hello Mr.first Skynet robot,

    how un-nice is to meet you!

  • @IanMilioli The owners of this craft, (the NWO) will probably call their system "Skynet" just to piss us off. Put since Internet actually flies these things, that name may be the only one that really fits.

  • Skynet will love this!

  • Say whatever you want, I dont think this plane's got to doo much against an F-22, or indeed any proper actual Combat Aircrafts. It relays too much on not beeing detected and has very litle maneuvrability. Same as the B-2

  • iran didn't catch shit its all propaganda the us is trying to make iran look more dangerous then it really is.

  • Dear santa...

  • USA WASTE HUNDRED MILLIONS DOLAR FOR RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AND NOW IRAN, RUSSIA AND CHINA WILL PRODUCE SIMILAR DRONES IN FEW MONTHS..

    I THINK U.S. NATION MUST ASK TO GOVERNMENT ABOUT THIS MISTAKE...

  • @00thelastottoman00 Nope, not likely. You are referring to the wrong drone. This one is much more advanced and isn't even out of the development phase yet.

  • @gatzad Yes i know but they can use cover material of body and they can copy GPS systems and digital control systems of first version..

  • @00thelastottoman00 this is a totally different drone!!! you idiot!

  • @McYxee What is the difference idiot?

  • @00thelastottoman00 the used technology. the drone which was lost in iran, was a drone which was built with the idea in mind that someday it might go down in enemy territory.

  • Haha ameircans, you don't have to be so proud of this aircraft, Iran just controlled one US drone RQ170 and forced it down into Iranian hand, so UAV is NOT reliable.

  • @kingofftheworld260 u wish iran did

  • @kingofftheworld260 No that's what Iran wants you to think, RQ-170's fly to high for Iranian RADAR to even detect it. They lost comms with it and it crashed, there designed to be able to glide back down to the ground and land with little damage, Iran would have detected it when it fell within RADAR range.

    Iran got lucky.

  • Not impressed....

  • I actually helped to build this aircraft. We built 2 of them. Sadly they are the only 2 that will be built by Northrop Grumman. Still it was an extremely cool platform to be involved in.

  • @30lilbear You did?!

  • Now, they just need to teach that thing the finer arts of ACM

  • dont worry ive got this one you guys handle the rest.

  • They should paint it black and put a big jolly roger(skull and cross bones) on the top and bottom, just cause it would look awesome...

  • humm.. looks a lot like TARANIS

  • Dear Santa.

  • Cool but they better make sure their software is top notch, Terrorists in Iraq are using a $30 transmitter/receiver to take control of the recon drones we use atm.. and if they can do that, then do you really think Chinese hackers will have any problem taking control of these things? hell they could use our whole air force against us.

  • @ibzkoty aircraft would have to be given orders/flight program and then communication disabled till a pre determined time. only way to be sure no one took control of it.

  • @MGazT they would still have to communicate with each other for combat maneuvers and would have to request permission to fire, even human pilots have to do that. plus receive gps and radar information for guidance..

  • @ibzkoty Then you would need to communicate with an on board Ai rather than simply a 'control system' . OR use an Ai that only recognised friendly commands, or at least disregarded any such order to fire on its own side or deviate from the original target. As for requesting 'permission', It would depend on the complexity of the mission I guess. If its simply a 'strike' mission then its target coordinates should have been pre determined at launch, in the same way a missile launch.

  • @ibzkoty its okay... they are going to use windows. ;) lol

  • for some reason I pictured a frog leaping when it took off

  • Skynet is coming!

  • igual no es tan parecido a un ovni

  • unmanned killer machine

  • Ok lets test it out on the protestors around wall street...good practice.

  • awesome. a new weapon to send terrorists to hell to be satans butt monkey. LOL!

  • Coming soon to a neighborhood near you.

  • We can kill alot of ragheads with that thing

  • Scary... Why the wheels was out throughout the whole flight I don't get it....

  • @Greenjah81 most early test flights are done with wheels down. It actually just completed first flight trials with the wheels up.

  • @MadMilitiaMen Thank you for the info, didn't knew that test flights are performed with wheels out.

  • @Greenjah81 anytime mate. 

  • @Greenjah81 Standard procedure for test flights.

  • Fly Navy!

  • i looks like same to russian mig skat !

  • @TATARSTAN59500 Of course it looks similar. The X-47 has been flying for awhile now, giving the Russians plenty of time to copy it.

  • @MadMilitiaMen mig skat is not a copy he was presented in maks 2007 and fly in maks 2011

  • @TATARSTAN59500 the X-47B was still flying, while the MIG-SKAT hasn't even done taxi-trials yet.

  • @MadMilitiaMen russia build mig skat no for based in x-47b

  • YEW-EFF-OH! YEW-EFF-OHH!!!

  • MIG SKAT IS BIGGER

  • Comment removed

  • holy crap that is pretty scary!

  • Future aircraft

  • This is a prime example of back engineering of a UFO. This shit is primitive compared to what the aliens have.

  • You just replace one disatvantage with another when you shift from one technology to another. Unmanned vehicles might help reduce combat casualties, but will increase risk of mission failure since a simple breakage in the communications link can cause the whole mission to fail or be called off. And trust me, messing with communication satillites is not that difficult now a days.

  • How the hell do you get all these rare videos?

  • Seems like the front landing gear needs to be a little stiffer upon landing, or the shaft lengthened a little bit. It sort of bottomed out on touch down.

  • F-35C and X-47B on the flight deck of aircraft carriers. State of the art.

  • I hope this doesn't replace fighter pilots, I really do. No honour or stories or history in robotic warfare, just cold and calculated decisions.

    F-35A all the way.

  • Plunk-down landing but no bounce. Nice RC airplane!

  • am I the only one that thinks they should put a red light in the air intake that slowly moves from side to side

  • If they are not going to use it, why they put retractlbe landing gears :P

  • @MrAltay1 because its only a test fly, in the future they will use the retractile landing gear, i presume

  • NICE LANDING.... for a robot..

  • @VikTheRebel A remote controled robot, too. Talent goes to the guy at the joystick! ;)

  • @masterDevis im pretty sure the X-47B lands by itself.. they have people monitoring its computers making sure everything is on track but its not like the reaper where there is a pilot controlling everything.. could be wrong tho

  • @VikTheRebel I think the Reaper can land itself, too. By definition, a UAV should be able to do it autonomously.

  • @VikTheRebel

    Every UAV Northrop Grumman makes is autonomous. NUCAS, Global Hawk... Predator is not so.

  • @oldfrend You'd be surprised. We've already made F-4s and F-16s (QF-4s and QF-16s) into unmanned systems for target practice. The next generation bombers for the USAF are planned to have unmanned capability. Though it will be some time until we completely hand air superiority missions to computers, there are advantages. The F-22 would be faster and more maneuvererable if it didn't have life support systems. And better to have, say, 6 people on the ground controlling it than one in the cockpit.

  • @rivendell9999 It will be decades before UAVs are able to dogfight as well as an F-22 or F-15. You simply cannot substitute the decision making of an elite pilot with an autonomous computer.

    The nuclear bomb mission, too, is unlikely to ever be replaced with UAVs. Would you want a computer entrusted with the ability to launch a nuke? F-22, F-15, and B-2 class aircraft will never be fully operable by a computer. No, it will be a long while before UAVs fully fly the skies of war.

  • As a pilot it saddens me to watch a plane climbing to the "blue yonder" with no one at the stick... But I guess this is the "future". Later on we shall have robotic planes with not even a remote pilot behind the stick 10000 miles away. I think the future of air combat will be a mix (human pilots and robotic aircraft) at least until A.I. is developed up to human level and beyond, but then... We shall all become obsolete, no matter nation, religion or ideology.

  • @rivendell9999 i think it highly unlikely we'd ever hand over control of combat missions completely to AIs. i think in 20-30 years, aircraft like this will be remotely piloted, with capabilities far beyond any manned fighter. think of it; no human body to account for so it can sustain > 10g turns; negative G maneuvers all day, and with no cockpit, much greater weapons load or fuel. it would be a fighter pilot's dream without having to worry about G-LOC.

  • Robots sent to attack whoever they want.

  • We are looking at the future of aerial combat. No more pilots in the cockpit. How weird of a feeling it must be to commute to work, your job is to fly some remote control plane that is flying thousands of miles away, drop your ordnance, then go home.

  • @Spudskie This is simply a attack aircraft. It cant do dogfights. That is simply to complicated for present technology.

    This is basicly a supper Reaper except it can be told where to go and what to do and then perform these actions on its own.

    No fighters.....for now....

  • russia have only plans to have somethimg like this ....

  • Spooky...

  • How is that controlled? Is it fully automated or is it actually flown by people?

  • @Tjita1 it is remote controlled by people on the ground.

  • @onehitxzibit It is autonomous.

  • Keep in mind that the USA is not the only ones that have unmanned craft.... I was surprised to hear that 'IRAN' also has 'drones' so called...........  The Earth is one big ticking time bomb.... Pray for peace~~~~~~~~~~~

  • @JamesVonRaynor hey you little jealous mother fucker that's the good thing about the USA it doesn't matter if your a fucking minority as long as you work hard to get a good education, you will succeed!

    Trash

  • @aviatorbeasts

    liar

  • skyline nuke scene is about to come true

  • @Neoli2300

    ?

    In skyline that was a B-2 Spirit bomber which was manned. 

  • @MisterHeizenberg are you thinking of independence day? skyline was one of these

  • @Neoli2300 yeah, aliens dont have chance now:)

  • @Neoli2300 I think you mean SKYNET, in reference to the Terminator movies. Not Skyline, as in the Nissan right :~)

  • @ERdept1 nah, the movie called skyline. Has a few of these in it

  • @ERdept1 it a movie

  • looking forward to the first carrier landing~~~

  • interesting first landing. i think some tweaking on the landing characteristics could be done to soften that landing a bit and save the equipment. Depending on runway length of course and other conditions. Of course maybe at the time of this video that hadnt fully explored where max stall is As to the arguments about this replacing combat pilots I'd wager this will not eliminate them at all.. that future platforms will have the pilot in a full simulator controlling the unmanned aircraft.

  • Great video great Upload.

  • u know this fucking uav launches nuclear bombs like missiles

  • I have doubts about UCAVs performing adequately in air to air combat inside BVR against manned aircraft. Not that modern pilots get into too many knife fights these days but if it did occur a pure autonomous UCAV would probably be defeated, and a remotely piloted UCAV may suffer too long of a delay between remote commands from the pilot.

    Of course on the flip side a UCAV could exploit the air frame's maximum G which in most cases on manned aircraft is limited by the FCS to prevent pilot injury.

  • new airplane???

  • What is the point in making this stealth if you are steering it using RF singlals?

    Can it be pre-programmed to the target?

  • @Sismiques yesh yesh it cansh sadly pilots are sorta losing their role in the AF :[ It kills me on the inside that I might sit at a desk all day instead of actually flying real aircraft if I pursue my dream of beinga fighter pilot if the Af </3

  • @xXxDeitiesxXx

    Well unless they make planes as smart as Terminators, which isn't a smart idea, it is unlikely such a job would go away.

  • @Sismiques still this thing is somewhat a fighter UAV so like say i became a fighter pilot and everything mostlikely I'd get stuck flying this thing not actually bein in the cockpit -_-

  • @xXxDeitiesxXx

    It is useless as a fighter if it's radio signals are jammed.

  • @Sismiques hmmm that's true aha

  • @Sismiques this just a platform the unmanned fighters would be robotics that will not be RC but thinking on their own to destroy and hunt down their targets. Already proven to work with the cruise missiles just gotta teawk a bit.

  • @6308281

    Proven to do what?

    Shoot down freindly planes and bomb civilians?

  • @Sismiques What you tring to compare to the extinct CCCP that shoot down airliners -

  • @xXxDeitiesxXx Don't worry, a lot of current pilots feel the same way, but unmanned technology is still leaps and bounds away from air superiority. These aircraft are meant for surveillance and air to ground capability. Basically, they'll be taking away the boring part of your career. Keep the dream!

  • Can Serbs shoot this down too?

  • @Sismiques They got lucky on a potshot at an F-117. That was a really crappy aircraft anyway.

    Don't be celebrating about the Serbian military, the U.S. could pound you into oblivion if we wanted to.

  • @nbarile18

    "You"?!

    I only Speak Serbian, I belong to no "Serbian military".

    And pound into oblivion?

    Yeah, like taking forever to pound into oblivion the Afgan insurgents?

  • That UAV looks like some epic space fighter. I read about these before, really cool. I think they are supposed to be able to fit on carriers, am I right?

  • PAKFA also flew with wheels down at first, this is standard procedure

  • ahh. I see the future of UCAVs. they will be the front line in every aerial battle.

  • There goes the money.

  • I Like the F-22 Rapter 

  • wow yay!!! 

  • I'm retired Air Force and that was badass!!!!! This aircraft, like the Predator, Reaper and Global Hawk are the wave of the future. Kudos!!!!!!

  • Shades of SKYNET. 

  • @mymovienerd even the Russian have developed the MiG Skat, so I guess the existence of SkyNet is getting closer to reality.

  • @harris3693 In the future, wars will be waged with multi million dollar toys not a whole lot different from the RC cars and planes we played with as kids. They'll just be a bit more advanced and and a hell of a lot deadlier.

  • @mymovienerd or they can be centrally controlled by both American and Russian central supercomputers on the command of their elite!!

  • First of all this is not a waste of tax money this will mean less lives lost overseas and in the long run less money spent. Also, this is just what the goverment is aloud to show us imagine what they really have that they can't show us.

  • Don't mess with USA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah !!!!!

  • well I hope that the USA and Russia disclousure , their TR-3B versions ,the propulsion system is exellent , and I'm tired to see that people confused with ufos,haha and bye bye to the rocket system to put material in orbit , may be they test this toy in iran , destroying their air force , and their nuclear facilities...

  • this will be in MW3 

  • @crisiscoreffv2 Modern Warfare is dead. Sorry, bro.

  • The ultimate radio controlled toy plane. Glad I live in a country where people die for lack of insurance but we got the best toys!!!I say strap a rocket on johnny top gun and arm him with turban seeking missless for a few grand and gives us the damn tax money back. Pisses me off, what a freeking waste of money.

    Got a uniform, getting bennies, get a freeking gun and kill some bad guys or dress like us wimpy civilians and get a real job.

  • @cedric1671 How bout you show some respect and get a life.

  • Congratulations from South America , Russia has his own version , USA this one , but when Russia and the Usa , will disclousure theirs balck birds version , of TR-3B versions , that birds are we are waiting to see , the Russian version it's is look like a piramide , but the propulsion system is the same , and china and other nations are decades behind that technology , but this technology 10 years for sure , the only that they can do is copy it , good video ¡¡¡

  • isnt this shit classify Top Secret? why is this shit up on the tube for everyone to see???? way to go Airforce

  • @jetlorider Because this isn't the Air Force. The Navy, Marines, and Army always parade thier new weapon's platform for all to see as publicity in hopes of boosting recruits. The Air Force doesn't have recruiting problems, they turn people away. USAF is the most secretive of the branches, thier tech is usually declassified after several years of having been mistaken for UFO's.

  • ..a rocket with wings.. where does it end.. back where it started.. with no measurable benefit.. and so goes .. the national debt..

  • Now, only Josh Lucas, Jessica Biel and Jamie Foxx can save us.

  • Made in the USA.

  • LOoks LIke U.F.O!!!

  • sometime in some years usa have no chance against china. the researching in china will 8x faster than usa

  • @forgoden Wrong big boy.......we have more that they don't know about.

  • @forgoden It will take a long while, china is at least 10yrs behind us right now

  • Congratulations from South America , Russia has his own version , USA this one , but when Russia and the Usa , will disclousure theirs balck birds version , of TR-3B versions , that birds are we are waiting to see , the Russian version it's is look like a piramide , but the propulsion system is the same , and china and other nations are decades behind that technology , but this technology 10 years for sure , the only that they can do is copy it , good video ¡¡¡

  • Looks like the 2005 movie "Stealth", which featured unmanned fighter planes, wasn't that far off after-all. Welcome to the future.

  • I hate it when a lot of people from my country, the United States, constantly disrespect other countries, and then the people from other countries generalize about everyone in the United States. I just wish we could focus on the astounding achievements happening right now across the world instead of who's home country has the "better" military. By the way, this plane is awesome.

  • Sweet drone!

  • Good news; the Slick Mercenarys will be in the minority.

  • i see a new killstreak in the cod game!!

  • Before you know it these things will be packed full of missiles and bombs flying in squadrons of hundreds at a time......Tis sooooo stupid to fuck with the U.S.!!

  • Comment removed

  • I'm sorry, what killstreak is that?

  • is it controlled from the bottom?

  • nowing the US, looking for a new source of oil will be easy. Look for a country in turmoil with a bad-@#$% image leader who hates the US, shout weapons-of-mass-destruction and axis-of-evil slogans, and invade that country on the pretext of saving the citizens from their evil leader. After the invasion, its easy to control their oil production and siphon it all to the US. They did it in Kuwait, then Iraq....I'm pretty sure Venezuela is next.

  • @DrPiterarnett

    I myself am Kuwaiti and the "USA" only took oil because we had a war between the Iraqis... I think that without the war the USA will never have touch Kuwait's land.

  • @DrPiterarnett umm you do know the US gets most of its oil from Canada the Mexico is second.. iraq is in 8th and kuwait is 12th the US can increase oile it gets from west africa and increase domestic supplies and we wouldnt need any oil from that entire region..if they can just do the T Boone Pickens plan that will be great.

  • This is stupid but I have to comment, #1 you Brits have not beat us in technological breakthroughs since we showed you what guerrilla warfare was back around 1776. The comments about Netherlands and them being better or something?? yea ok next... The gear is down for drag to allow for proper filming in order to show off our stuff on youtube... oh and yea this and more have been around awhile...

  • How the hell did the yanks copy nEUROn so fast? :o

  • @mufuggha How the hell do you Eurotrash claim that we copied anything from you when it's actually you who is 30 years behind the US and need to copy the US all the time?

  • When will they reveal the mothership?

  • Comment removed

  • It says first flight. The gear is down for the possibility of an emergency landing. Flight tests are very methodical and they do everything they can to reduce risks and obtain as much data as possible.

  • @samnelso Ya if you watch "Battle of the X Planes" when they test fly the X35 for the first time they do the same thing.

  • alien technology lol

  • vrrrrrrrrrrrrm :)

  • CHECK OUT TAYA ROBINSON 11 YEAR OLD FEMALE BASKETBALL PLAYER ON YOUTUBE!!!!!!!!

  • nice 40milion people in usa take food-stamps

  • @DrPiterarnett their fault muhahahahahahahaha >:)

  • @DrPiterarnett too bad its 100% british

  • Why would you war without man?
