You're right its a non-event. I know there are aviation enthusiasts on this web site and I thought it was interesting. It does look different than the first A and B versions, this is the new improved version. That is the only picture on Boeing's web site. Friday afternoon type post..... I'm bored.

Why does it have a cockpit? It looks like an engine intake.

That could be the air intake for the jet. Placing it on top and further back would help reduce it's radar signature.

""With the F404 engine, the X-45C will be able to fly a combat radius of more than 1,200 nautical miles, cruise at 0.80 Mach, reach altitudes of 40,000 feet and carry a 4,500 pound weapon payload."Technology BUMP! (already envisioning the next genertion)

It's not a cockpit - it's a light in the intake.

"With the F404 engine,..." The same engine that F-18s use.
To: Gibtx
The guy's handle is 'dumpdaschle' indicating he's from Washington where this is good news. Boeing is a big deal to Washington as it is next to Microsoft in revenues. Good news for Boeing is great news for Washington.
