.......agree..!:ok:

But, but, but...

This one is NEW... and has two more bells and one more whistle!

:E

annnnnnnd; it has a removable engine, underslung lights and flags. I don't know, I assume someone somewhere expressed a desire for such a beast; unlikely that the Boeing marketing department are going to describe it as "just another drone" though ........... but I agree, it is.

OOPS:O I think they forgot to get the engine team to talk to the airframe team.

60% scale tech demonstrator using liquid hydrogen as fuel.

Good job it operates way high up.

Yeah why no mounted engines????

UAVs or RPASs are the future and its time the stick monkeys woke up to the fact!

The aviation world will belong to those with brains and not just those with good hand-eye coordination ...........

I still think the RFC had the right idea: man in the front was the officer, all round good egg and brains of the outfit. Man in the back was the competent NCO who flew the machine and took it where the officer wanted to be. Marvellous:ok:

Provided, that is , that they can tell their ar$e from their elbow, eh Baldrick?

One looks rather like a bald man's head .... but I can't remember which:p
