Description
Boeing's Loyal Wingman has taxied under its own power for the first time, carrying out several ground maneuvers at speeds of up to 14 knots (16 mph, 26 km/h) and stopping on command. The Loyal Wingman is being developed for the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF), under Australia's Advanced Development Program. Boeing says the low-speed taxi was carried out to verify the function and integration of drone's systems, which include steering, braking, and engine controls. When the drone is ready for flight, it will be a jet-powered, with a range of 2,000 nm (2,301 mi, 3,704 km) that can fly alongside UAVs and piloted combat aircraft.
