  • Northrop Grumman Corporation and the U.S. Navy have completed nine initial flight tests of the Triton unmanned aircraft system (UAS), marking the half-way point in a process called envelope expansion. During envelope expansion, the test team validates the aircraft's ability to operate at a range of altitudes, speeds and weights. The flights are taking place at the company's manufacturing facility in Palmdale, Calif. The Triton test team accomplished endurance flights up to 9.4-hours at altitudes up to 50,000 feet. The aircraft also performed doublets, a maneuver that tests the aircraft's ability to recover from small perturbations in its flight path caused by turbulence.

    For a billion dollars one would hope their promotional video would have sound.

    Iran has already cleared a large display spot in their war museum for one when it becomes operational.

    Unfortunately it's hard to get video on the side or in front of an unmanned aircraft. There's certain safety restrictions for the chase aircraft that require pilots to maintain a safe distance from the aircraft. Also, Triton is unarmed and only used for surveillance.

      Does anybody know why?

      @@ali.bayraktar771 No turn signals...which means that the chase aircraft has to be very careful to avoid a midair collision. There are also some RF-related no-fly areas, especially with sensors operating.

    If were allowed to see it, then it is old news to the government and they already have newer toys that they actually use.

    Whats the point of having such a large drone?

      Bigger mean better.
      Larger drones mean better performance.
      But i wish if U.S.A + Europe + Canada + Russia + New Zealand + China + Australia + Brazil + Egypt + India + Malaysia. all these countries should develop scientific equipment NOT wars equipment.
      Imagine... all these countries work together to make/create spaceship/spacecraft. :D
      I really wish from very deep my heart to see all humans put their hands together and work on spacecraft so we can go to planet mars YAAAY.

      Most of the planet is covered by water. Sats can't easily keep track of bad guys that are mobile. This aircraft has very long range and mission times. The aircraft is more of a large glider (large wings, but small fuselage) than a high speed aircraft.
