Unmanned Little Bird demonstrates autonomous takeoffs and landings on ship

Boeing says its Unmanned Little Bird H-6U was able to demonstrate 14 autonomous takeoffs and landings from a ship during flight tests in July.

For the tests, conducted from a private ship off the coast of Florida, Boeing integrated a commercial-off-the-shelf takeoff-and-landing system with Unmanned Little Bird’s automated flight control system.
