The Northrop Grumman X-47C is a design for a stealth, unmanned aircraft.[1] Its ancestors the X-47A and the X-47B made this unmanned aircraft possible to carry out the "stealth" that was needed in order to be difficult to detect by radar.[1] It is planned to have a payload of 10,000 pounds (4,500 kg), significantly exceeding that of the X-47A.[1] The initial date for building the aircraft was in 2018, although changes will most likely be made as in whether to continue with the design or to use a more advanced system.[1]
