I was wondering what people think about the X-47B. It's an unmanned prototype tailless aircraft that can also take of and land on an aircraft carrier. Check out more stuff about at a page on my blog: History of Military Aircraft: Northrop Grumman X-47B

As much as I hate to see pilots taken out of the aircraft, it seems to be the way of the future. Not being able to see much about it from the link you provided, I don't know much about the program or it's capabilities. It looks like it could be promising though.
It's undergoing the beginnings of land based carrier trials. While certainly a milestone in UCAV development, hard to weigh in on an experimental airplane with a simple thumbs up/thumbs down. It can fly, so thumbs up?
