Video Friday: Raytheon’s KillerBee UAV

Writing by Evan Ackerman on Friday, 3 of October , 2008 at 3:19 am

There are decent looking UAVs. There are pretty cool looking UAVs. There are badass looking UAVs. And then there’s Raytheon’s KillerBee, which (in my opinion) takes the prize for best looking aerial drone. Its got a wingspan of 10 feet and is just over 6 feet long, with 3.4 cubic feet of payload space and 15 hours of endurance. Its piston engine can propel it to over 100 knots, but Raytheon is looking to fit it with a small jet engine, which would make it even more awesome. Video, and more pics, after the jump.
