UAV
Just an update for those of you who have not caught the news the X47b a drone with a 60+ foot wingspan has taken off and landed on a carrier. Manned military flight is about to end, soon. F4 Phantoms are being turned into drones to aid in training with weapons systems (we are automating them just to shoot them down). The reliability of UAV craft is getting much better, public perception of the ability to land on a carrier will certainly increase confidence as they are marketed to the civil sector..............Ian beat me to it.
