New drone has no pilot anywhere, so who’s accountable? The Navy is testing an autonomous plane that will land on an aircraft carrier. The prospect of heavily armed aircraft screaming through the skies without direct human control is unnerving to many.

In a sign that the 3D printing industry is taking off, the world’s first ‘printed’ aircraft has soared the skies over UK’s Wiltshire Downs, north of Stonehenge.

The General Atomics Avenger (Predator C) on a test flight. It is planned to be an unmanned combat aerial vehicle capable of carrying a payload of 3,000 lbs, with an internal weapons bay to minimize radar signature.

The 29th AMU is the Air Force unit that operates the MQ-9 Reaper Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV.) They had a couple of their “drones” on display in the air show. It was my first time seeing one of them up close. It was bigger than I imagined. The Reaper, along with its lighter cousin the MQ-1 Predator, made for an apposite display at the air show since only a week prior, a drone killed Al-Qaeda evil-doer Anwar al-Awlaki in Yemen.
…even more coincidental, al-Awlaki was born in nearby Las Cruces!
Anyways, the T-shirt is awesome…and the next terrorist who takes the time to read the back of it will think twice about detonating his underwear in our airports! :-)
