conducted take-offs and landings from the nuclear aircraft carrier, the USS

and the X-47B is likely one of the larger ones. What is so ironic about
all of this is the fact that the enemy cannot detect a plane like this in the
first place. In the unlikely event they get lucky at shooting one down,
there will be no human loss of life or captivity. </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;" class=""></span></div>

deck crew signaling the plane, they are simply signaling the on-board cameras,
who in turn are being manned by staff inside the command intelligence center

needs for a takeoff.</span></div></div><br class=""><br class=""></div></div>
