Cool new unmanned spy plane unveiled by Boeing

275x250.jpg Aircraft makers Boeing have revealed a futuristic spy plane called the Phantom Ray, which can cruise at 614mph, can't be tracked by radar and doesn't need a pilot.

While such planes would normally be built to specification for a customer like the US military, Boeing say the Phantom Ray is their "test bed" for new technologies.

The sleek-looking plane - based on a prototype the firm made for the US Air Force - has a 50ft wingspan, measures 36ft long and has a gross weight of 36,500lbs.

Bosses say the unmanned airborne system (UAS) will operate at an altitude of 40,000ft

Our civilization kicks every other civilization's ass.

If we ever decide to use our complete arsenal, then we will never be defeated by 11th Century goat-lovin' woman-hating towel-heads livin' in caves.
