Photo & Video: X-47B loaded onto the USS Harry S Truman

The US Navy has loaded up the first Northrop Grumman X-47B Unmanned Combat Air System Demonstrator onto the USS Harry S Truman. The aircraft will be tested aboard the giant 100, 000 ton ship for about three weeks. Basically, it'll be doing air-ship integration trials. The X-47B is slated to fly off the Truman next year.
