Northrop Grumman X-47C
X-47C
Role Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle
Manufacturer Northrop Grumman
Primary user United States Navy
Developed from X-47A Pegasus, X-47B

The X-47C is designed to be a stealth, unmanned aircraft. Its ancestors the X-47A and the X-47B made this unmanned aircraft possible to carry out the "stealth" that was needed in order to be undetectable by radar. It is planned to have a 10,000 LB pay load making it dwarf the X-47A in the amount of bombs it carries. The initial date for building the aircraft was in 2018, although changes will most likely be made as in whether to continue with the design or to use a more advanced system.
