Boeing's tanker drone that has refuelling pod completes 1st flight
Boeing has flown a test version of its MQ-25 tanker drone with a refuelling pod 'ARS' attached for the first time. The successful 2.5-hour flight was designed to test the aircraft's aerodynamics with the ARS mounted under the wing. The US Navy ultimately hopes to order over 70 MQ-25 drones that assume the tanking role currently performed by F/A-18s.
