Boeing’s 227-kilogram-capacity Cargo Air Vehicle (CAV) completed forward flight tests in an outdoor environment. The company commenced outdoor testing earlier this year and has since completed more than 90 flights, according to a release from the company. During a recent three-minute flight test the CAV took off, hovered, and then flew several thousand feet down the runway along a pre-programmed flight path before landing. After rigorous testing of the drone’s vertical take-off, landing, and now forward flight capabilities, flight test engineers will equip the drone with various payloads and move into load analysis and performance tests.
