Boeing's PhantomEye UAV Logs 5-hour Flight
There is not a lot of detail at the link below, but there is one curious disconnect. According to the article, Boeing's own press release says the plane's eventual goal is a 4-day endurance. But earlier releases touted plans for a 10-day endurance. Probably a PR miscue, but if not, it could imply that the technology has hit some serious snags. Guess we'll have to watch and wait.
