But will it blend
That front and back lighting is SEXY!
Skynet is nearly online.
An awesome vehicle. Unmanned is the future of aviation.
You mean CGI of a new plane right?
Coming to the closest wedding party near you!
Surprised they didn’t show it taking off from the Gerald R Ford. Fucking awesome though!
now you can stealthily air refuel your stealthy jet fighter
Oh boy, this comments section is going to get a little steamy
I feel safer already. Before, I could barely sleep at night knowing that the F18’s had such limited range. Thank God.

TAKE MY MONEY LOCKHEED!
Oh wait, you already are
Wonder if this is planned to take over the role of other ISR assets in the sky such or just another piece.
Is this lockheeds first ISR focused aircraft since the U-2?

If the new Ace Combat looks like this does I’ll be the happiest man alive.
When an X-47b and a B-2 love each other very much …
Welp I’m sold after that ad. Think it has a red leather interior option?
That’s Lockheed’s mock-up of the MQ-25. They’re also bidding on the program against Boeing and General Atomics. I’ve heard that they’re not even the front-runner…my money is on GA winning the contract this summer.
Looks like a knock-off of the X-47B
A refueler from an aircraft carrier? This is cool!
Wow I’m sold. Is there an amazon link?
[Is that a zombie on board at 2:06? the way it stumbles onto screen makes me think we have navy zombies.](https://youtu.be/T1F8GoVnonU?t=126)
What aircraft is currently performing in this role? I’m assuming all the KA-6 aircraft have been long retired. I’m wondering if the current aircraft even comes close to the fuel capacity of the A-6, and how this new proposed aircraft compares to both.
Someone care to explain what that propellor/rotating thing below the plane is?
Those lights it has are pretty cool
Remember pilots?

At 37 seconds I thought the guy in the background was dabbing
judgement day is coming…soon to your local residential area!
The fighter/bomber pilot is increasingly going to seem like a thing of the past, I think.
How long until we no longer train pilots for combat applications, instead opting for drones exclusively?
Boeing, Northrop Grumman, and General Atomics all have prototype MQ-25’s as well as Lockheed

Here is a actual drone X-47B that has already proven some of it’s capabilities. When I first saw that thing in the hangar bay I thought we captured an alien spaceship.

So how does this protect itself from Frequency jammers.
For me, the captions reads like an enterprise software pitch
I like that it is a recon and tanker that can be launched from a carrier
Look citizen, your war machines are pretty and new! Don’t you want WWIII now?
This just makes me miss playing Ace Combat. 🙁
The overall bid hasn’t been awarded yet. Boeing, Lockheed Martin, General Atomics and Northrop Grumman have all been awarded development contracts to develop concepts like this one for the MQ-25 program.
Basically, this is just an advertisement to the military and the public on Lockheed’s part to try to get their concept selected for procurement.
Skunk Works is always the epitome of aviation design. Kelly Johnson would be proud!
good to see that old german horton goethe 229 finally made it into production after nearly 80 years…
Just in time for war with Syria!

so Lockheed revamped Ho-229?
Looks like something from ace combat.
Military industrial complex. So tight… /s/
Man, jets are crazy when you really think about them. They look so artificial but really every single part of it was in the ground before it was a jet. We just took a bunch of pieces of Earth out of the ground and rearranged it in a certain way and turned it into a jet.
Can I be a Navy drone computer pilot person? I have tons aerial combat and piloting experience from that Fighter Jet game at Chuck E. Cheese.
Coming Summer 2048.
Useful to kill brown desert people
I like the smiley face when dropping bombs. https://youtu.be/T1F8GoVnonU?t=136
Well I have a freedom boner now
I like the pretty airplane.
This looks like a damn UFO.
If those LED panel don’t have a smiley face after refuel, what’s the point
Next thing you know the stealth tanker will be built to refuel the stealth tanker
Nice, does it have a name?
I like that its an AD$ like anyone watching this on youtube would be able to buy one of these.
So glad I own Lockheed Martin stock right now.
How well would this operate with jammed comms and no GPS? Can it fly back on its own?
Now that was a quality advert, it was like a movie trailer.
Quick! Send the jet to refuel the jet we sent to refuel the jet we sent to refuel the jet we sent to refuel the jet we sent to refuel the jet we sent to refuel the jet we sent to refuel the jet we sent to refuel the jet we sent to refuel the jet we sent to refuel the jet we sent to refuel the jet we sent to refuel the jet we sent to refuel the jet we sent to refuel the jet we sent to refuel the jet we sent to refuel the jet we sent to refuel the jet we sent to refuel the jet we sent to refuel the jet we sent to refuel the jet we sent to refuel the jet we sent to refuel the jet we sent to refuel the jet we sent to refuel the jet we sent to refuel the jet we sent to refuel the jet we sent to refuel the jet we sent to refuel the jet we sent to refuel the jet we sent to refuel the jet we sent to refuel the jet we sent to refuel the jet we sent to refuel the jet.
I feel like this video will end up being one of those videos played on infinite loop on some giant screen outside one of the thousands of recruiting offices that are now laying abandoned after the autonomous war of 2078.
