美国洛克希德-马丁公司前不久宣布,洛-马公司研发的无人驾驶型的F-35联合攻击机可能将于晚些时候开始试飞。此举将使F-35成为首批无人驾驶战机。F-35无人驾驶型战机的设计目的是取代F-16,成为美国及其盟国新一代的大负荷战斗机。与洛克希德公司研制的F-22“猛禽”战机相比,这种新型联合攻击机的载弹量要小一些,不过,其炸弹和导弹的设计携带重量仍然达到了6.8吨,并能实现超音速巡航。 Lockheed Martin recently announced that Los Angeles-based R & D unmanned F-35 joint strike aircraft will likely begin its test flight later. The move will make the F-35 the first unmanned aircraft. Designed to replace the F-16, the F-35 unmanned aircraft has become the next generation of large-load fighters in the United States and its allies. Compared to the F-22 Raptor developed by Lockheed, the new joint attack aircraft will have a smaller loading capacity but will still deliver 6.8 tons of bomblets and missiles Supersonic cruise.
