The X-47B drone completed a series of tests demonstrating its ability to operate safely and seamlessly with manned aircraft.
The first series of manned/unmanned operations began Sunday morning when the ship launched an F/A-18 and an X-47B. After an eight-minute flight, the X-47B executed an arrested landing, folded its wings and taxied out of the landing area.
