X-47B unmanned aircraft now on display at the National Naval Aviation Museum

Pensacola, FL – As part of the National Naval Aviation Museum’s 50th anniversary, the Museum is proud to present the Navy’s latest in aerospace technology, a full-scale mock-up of Northrop Grumman’s X-47B unmanned combat air system.  The X-47B was originally scheduled to be part of the Museum’s 50th anniversary which was postponed due to the government shutdown.

 

“The National Naval Aviation Museum has a powerful mission – to preserve and display Naval Aviation history,” said Carl Johnson, vice president and program manager of the Navy Unmanned Combat Air System (UCAS) program at Northrop Grumman. “Our company has long dedicated itself to designing and building aircraft that transform Naval Aviation – from the famous ‘Cat’ family of aircraft in World War II, through the Cold War era Intruder, Hawkeye and Tomcat designs, to today’s unmanned Triton, Fire Scout and X-47B UCAS demonstrator aircraft – and we are grateful to the museum for their continued commitment to this rich history.”
