Over one year ago the U.S. Navy successfully conducted take-offs and landings from a fairly new nuclear aircraft carrier, USS George H.W. Bush with the Northrop Grumman X-47B Unmanned Combat Air System... What is so ironic - all of this is the fact that the enemy cannot detect a plane like this in the first place. In the unlikely event they get lucky at shooting one down, there will be no human loss of life or captivity. As you view the flight deck crews signaling the plane, they are simply signaling the on-board cameras, which in turn are being manned by staff inside the Command Intelligence Center (CIC) onboard the ship Also check out the short distance this plane needs for a takeoff. Impressive, indeed. youtu.be/WC8U5_4lo2c
