X-47 Pegasus




The Northrop Grumman X-47A Pegasus is a demonstration Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle . The X-47 is part of DARPA 's J-UCAS project.

Unlike the Boeing X-45 , Pegasus development was company-funded. The initial vehicle carries the designation X-47A; a follow-on Naval version is designated '''X-47B'''.

The roll out ceremony of the proof-of-concept X-47A vehicle was in July 2001 and the first flight was successfully completed in February 2003.
