Plane Of The Day: YFQ-44a
The Anduril YFQ-44a is the first unmanned fighter jet in the world and among the most technologically sophisticated aircraft in the world. Designed by Anduril Industries for the United States Air Force and unveiled to the public a couple of months ago, it performs very well but is still being tested. However, the "Y" designation (meaning prototype) suggests that it will most likely enter service after its testing is complete. The aircraft functions like a regular fighter jet, but has no human controller. This highly sophisticated aircraft marks a significant leap in aviation technology.
