Handout photo dated August 18, 2021 shows an MQ-25 Stingray unmanned aerial vehicle refuels an E-2D Advanced Hawkeye aircraft over MidAmerica Airport in Mascoutah, Ill, USA. For the first time ever, the US Navy has a carrier-based aircraft that does not require a pilot. The service has taken delivery of the first MQ-25 Stingray autonomous refueller from manufacturer Boeing. “We’ve delivered the first US Navy MQ-25 Stingray for testing,” Boeing said on 21 February. “The unmanned carrier-based refueller will now undergo a rigorous airframe integrity evaluation.” The latest fiscal year 2025 budget documents indicate the navy plans to acquire 76 Stingrays, including five test articles. At least 67 aircraft are projected to be operational models. U.S. Navy photo courtesy of Boeing via ABACAPRESS.COM
