Eight times over the last year, a bizarre-looking aircraft with tilted wings, tilted canards and 24 ducted fans has lifted off the tarmac of a naval facility in Maryland. The unmanned plane weighs just 147 kilograms, but its designed to prove the feasibility of building an unmanned plane that would be substantially larger and do something no plane of that size has ever done: Hover like a helicopter and fly nearly as fast as a business jet. The closest thing to this planned aircraft, called LightningStrike, would be the US V-22 Osprey tiltrotor, but that aircraft's speed tops out at about half that of a Gulfstream 6650 business jet. Here, Werner details the design and capacity of LightningStrike.
