The US Navy's first operational MQ‑25A Stingray unmanned tanker drone completed its first autonomous taxi test, moving it a step closer to joining carrier air wings. Designed by Boeing specifically for the US Navy, the MQ‑25A Stingray is intended to serve primarily as an unmanned aerial refueling asset. The aircraft can carry about 15,000 pounds of fuel and will operate from catapult‑equipped carriers once deck‑based flight testing begins. #army #Navy #airforce #marines #vetradiosyndicate #delta

Our first operational MQ-25A Stingray™ has successfully completed its first taxi test. At the push of a button from Air Vehicle Pilots in the Unmanned Carrier Aviation Mission Control System, the Stingray autonomously taxied from the new MQ-25 production facility in Mascoutah, Illinois, to the taxiway at MidAmerica St. Louis airport and executed a series of maneuvers to validate its functionality. The U.S. Navy’s first MQ-25A is now one step closer to its first flight. | The Boeing Company
