Newest USAF Drone Begins Process in Earnest The YFQ-42A Collaborative Combat Aircraft has begun its flight testing in coordination with the U.S. Air Force, taking a vital step towards the not-terrifying, super-cool future of autonomous hunter-killers. (We kid…mostly.) The current YFQ-42A is a production-representative version of the unmanned air dominance aircraft we will get once it’s produced in quantity. GA-ASI says they plan to make 1,000 such aircraft on an "accelerated timeline", and for once a defense program seems to be proceeding on time!
