LOOP News![]() 2 NOV 06: BOEING'S LITTLE BIRD"The A/MH-6X is the first true hybrid manned/unmanned aircraft, " said Dino Cerchie, the Little Bird program manager. The first flight as a piloted aircraft lasted 14 minutes before landing safely. Boeing test pilot Todd Brown said, "The aircraft flew great. It is very responsive and delivers outstanding performance." Future testing will expand the manned and unmanned envelopes, for both military and civilian roles. "The desire and need for an all-purpose compact workhorse is there, whether it's manned or unmanned," said Cerchie. "This aircraft is the low cost solution for urban or confined operational areas." | |||||||
