Europe's Combat Drone Makes It's First Test Flight



Watch The First Flight of Europe’s Killer Drone Prototype -- Danger Room

This drone may have an awkward name. But several European governments think the nEUROn is their ticket to a future of flying killer robots.

The video above shows the first flight of the nEUROn, a drone with a 41-foot wingspan and an empty weight of five tons, which on Saturday launched from France’s Istres air base. The takeoff of the stealthy, batwing-shaped drone, jointly developed by six European countries, was nearly a decade in the making, and tests will continue in France, Sweden and Italy for years to come.
