The new replica of
Northrop Grumman’s X-47B UCAS stealth UAV at the
National Naval Aviation Museum isn’t so much historic as it is a symbol of flight
history in the making.

With a wingspan of 62 feet, the new exhibit is a full-scale mock-up
of the first unmanned aircraft to land on an aircraft carrier. That
event was last July aboard the USS George H.W. Bush while the vessel was
operating off the coast of Virginia. “The actual aircraft will eventually be coming to this museum, but
it’s still undergoing testing,” said Hill Goodspeed, the museum’s
historian. “In the meantime, this replica is on loan from the
manufacturer.”
