Unmanned Warplane Takes Off

A few days ago, the new Boeing X45, an automated robotic fighter plane flew for 14 minutes. It is a big leap for unmanned warfare, but don't get too excited; the plane is remotely controlled! This increases security for the pilot (naturally), and also decreases production costs. Various other models of different sizes are planned.

A small amount of Artificial Intelligence is used to assist the remote piloting, like the automated stabiliser. It can also be given a course to follow, so the pilot can control multiple aircrafts. Though, from all the photos, it seems nobody found the button to fold-in the landing gear!
