Video: Unmanned X-47B Makes First Carrier Landing - Very Successfully! 


 On May 14, 2013 the unmanned Northrop Grumman X-47B made its first ever launch from an aircraft carrier... and today, less than two months later, the pilotless test aircraft has made its first carrier landing! The Northrop Grumman video above is the best one to really experience the excitement of the event, and the two below from the US Navy give some additional views well worth seeing.

 A huge congratulations go out to all of the many people involved in making this remarkable achievement so impressively successful!
