Default The New X-48B flying at Edwards AFB

Just got these pictures from one of my Uncles. I've seen different pics of the X-48B on the ground but no in-flight pictures yet. Just thought I'd share with you in case you hadn't seen these yet either.

Keep in mind all it is not yet manned or full scale! this i beleve is a either 1/2 or 2/3 scale UAV that boeing is using to test high/low speed stability and confinguration on this aircraft design... but it is progress!!!!!

Actually, the aircraft is very small. Only a 21-foot wingspan. And yes, it's a proof of concept, unmanned aircraft.

Here's the wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-48B
