Have heard the name mentioned a few times.
Un-manned military aircraft, no?

Yeah, it sure is a pretty sweet lookin little UAV.  And just think, the only reason we know about it now is because its technology is "old." lol

Actually, I just read on the Boeing website that it wasnt a UAV.

When you look at that thing, its hard to believe its from the same company that brought us the 7x7 lines.

You can see a cockpit in the pictures and a pilot flying it in the bottom one (or just along for the ride ;D).

Yeah, it's different... I'll bet there are plans for  manned and unmanned variants . Wonder what it can carry? It's pretty small...

I think it was just a demonstrator, what it demonstrated, I dont know.
