Boeing unveils hypersonic combat drone

Boeing has unveiled the concept of a hypersonic strike unmanned aerial vehicle.

The conceptual model of an unmanned attack aircraft in the near future will have to replace the Lockheed SR-71 supersonic strategic aircraft, however, experts do not hide the fact that this will happen no earlier than 2028, since the work on the creation of the aircraft has just begun.

The hypersonic unmanned aerial vehicle has an ideal aerodynamic shape, which allows it to develop a maximum flight speed of 6200 km / h, while unofficial sources report that the maximum flight range of a drone will be 12500 kilometers, that is, in fact, a shock the drone will be able to get from one point of the globe to another in just two hours.

Due to the fact that the project of the attack unmanned aerial vehicle is secret, any details have not yet been made public, however, it is obvious that the drone will have to carry strategic weapons, which, however, has not yet been officially confirmed.

A few days earlier, the information resource Avia.pro reported that an object resembling a hypersonic aircraft was discovered on Google Earth maps, and experts do not exclude that in fact, the developers from "Boeing" have already created a demo model, since the footage received from space is very similar to the conceptual version of the combat drone presented by the American aircraft manufacturers.
