First fixed wing drone lands on a Royal Navy aircraft carrier

More details here: https://www.navylookout.com/the-first... In a pioneering flight, a cargo drone flew from Predannack airfield on the Lizard Peninsula out to HMS Prince of Wales off the Cornish coast, delivered supplies, took off again and flew back. The goal is to utilise this type of drone to transfer stores and supplies such as mail or spare parts from ashore or between ships without the need to use much more expensive helicopters. The twin-engine light alloy twin-boom UAS made by W Autonomous Systems (WAS) is capable of carrying a payload of 100kg up to 1,000 km. It can operate from rough strips and needs less than half the length of the carrier's flight deck to get airborne.
