Boeing readying unmanned Phantom Ray, Stealth jet of the future
Posted By: Bharat BhushanSharma | May 13 2010
A few days back we read about Boeing’s two new jet fighter inclusions for the US military, today we learn of Boeing’s Phantom Ray – a radio-controlled stealth aircraft. This 36ft long Unmanned Airborne System (UAS), with a 50ft wingspan and 36,500lbs of weight will be capable of operate at an altitude of 40,000ft. Based on a prototype that Boeing originally built for the US army, this jet manages speeds of up to 614mph, or 0.8mach, and will still execute maneuvers that would kill perpetrators of terror. Boeing is scheduled to test the aircraft this summer and is due to launch it in December.
