Go = Navy! 

Interesting point that all the hand = signals by the crew on deck that would normally be directed at the pilot = of the aircraft, are in this case actually for a camera being viewed by = a remote "operator." By the way, what is the correct military term for a = person who pilots an aircraft by remote = control? 
 
 
 
 


 
 
Just 6 months ago ( July 10, 2013 ) the Navy = successfully conducted take-offs and landings from a fairly new nuclear = aircraft carrier, the USS George H.W. Bush, with a new stealth jet = called the X-47B. This video is completely cleared by the U.S, = Navy.

 

What is so different about = this plane is the fact that it is a 'drone'.  It is completely = unmanned.  Drones come in all sizes, and the X-47B is likely one of = the larger ones.

 

What is so amazing about all this is that the = enemy cannot detect a plane like this in the first place and, in the = unlikely event they get lucky at shooting one down, there will be no = human loss of life or captivity.  As you view the flight deck crew = signaling the plane, realize they are simply signaling the = on-board   cameras,  who in turn are = being manned by staff on the deck and inside the command intelligence = center ( CIC ) on-board the ship.
