Next gen Predator, called "Avenger", made it's maiden flight recently.
AW&ST article here.
More pix here.
Kinda looks like what you'd get if Global Hawk and Reaper had a kid.  |

| Looks cool to me, I wonder how many they will build? I also wonder how stealthy it is, probly not as stealthy as F-22 or F-35, but its also smaller. Also sounds like it could carry about 6 SDB's internally. Also the fact it can carry internally, no longer has a prop and obviously has some RAM treatment and design features, using proper tactics its probly capable of first day of war missions. |

I think many will be surprised as to it's RCS.
There appears to be a radar return enhancer device under the belly ala F-22. |

| Hmmm I thought Predator C was our Sky Warrior. I guess that's only a B. Sweet! |
