Note:
(a) X-47B is the first unmanned fighter or bomber to be tested. It is stealthy and designed to be (aircraft) carrier-based.
(b) Aviation Week at year end, last year, reported the imminent test flight of both unmanned helicoper and unmanned fighter and said that the latter would come first. It turned out that the former came first. the latter apparently alluded to X-47B.
