Sikorsky Demonstrates Flying Wing Drone

[MIflyer]

Sikorsky has flown a prototype of an interesting flying wing drone that incorporates twin rotors for vertical takeoffs and landings. The concept was unveiled at Verticon in Dallas on Monday. The "rotor blown wing" is a tilt-rotor of sorts, but because the whole aircraft is the wing it doesn't need complicated technology to make the transition. No performance data was released on the aircraft but Sikorsky has already started thinking about bigger versions using hybrid power. The first prototype weighs 115 pounds and is battery-powered.
