The appearance is similar to that of an X-47.

To call it “classified” is stretching things. We’ve know its name, its appearance, and, its general capabilities for years now.

This is truly world-beating, cutting edge all-british tech. No doubt it will therefore be cancelled at an advanced stage of development and off-the-shelf American kit purchased to “save money” (after billions of public cash has already been thrown at it)....
To: sukhoi-30mki
The aircraft flew at the old British Nuclear test range at Woomera, Australia. The RAAF Woomera Test Range, in other words. RAAF standing for Royal Australian Air Force.
Sorry - pet hate to see such things described as British - as if we had nothing to do with it. It was called the Anglo-Australian Joint Project for a reason.

Did the Aussies test nukes there as well then?
To: sinsofsolarempirefan
The tests were joint British and Australian tests on a facility that both nations paid for. At the time they were being done, the plan was for us to develop our own nuclear arsenal as well. It didn’t happen in the end, but it was a joint project (some British officials didn’t like that, but as they needed the facility, they agreed).

I always thought it would be the Cannucks who would have been the primary partners in developing a bomb with the Union Jack on it. They were heavily involved in the Manhattan project with us and the Americans...
To: sinsofsolarempirefan
Canada did partner more with the US, and actually maintained a small nuclear arsenal (which they don’t like to talk about now) between the 1960s and 1980s with US support (and a degree of US control).

It has Lucas electrics so definitely the navigation lights go dark at night.
