The Arsenal Bird might have the YB-35’s looks and propulsion but it’s a lot closer to the Lockheed CL-1201 in size. In addition, the MQ-99 is closer to the EADS Barracuda.

Seriously, it's so cringy seeing the mass amounts of Ace Combat comments... Like I get it, it's in a video game, I don't knock people for playing video games, and getting all giddy over military tech... but it's just sad to see a big disconnect from reality.

@@TickyTack23 They're mostly doing it because it's funny. It's rather hilarious that a LM video on something they're obviously proud of has been taken over by comments about a similar thing in a computer game. Imagine if when Apple released the iPad all of the comments on their videos were "Great I can finally deliver my report to Captain Picard" or "Awesome, Starfleet had Padds in the late 80s!", or similar.

This extends the operating range of our aircraft and subsequently keeps our carriers further away from land-based carrier killing technologies. Good idea.
This one is a real beauty My Dad worked at Lockheed Palmdale and I was so privileged to be able to sit in the pilot's seat of an SR-71 and to this day it's my favorite Plane in the world
Funny thing is they tried many times during ww2. And cold war and even concepts in late 80s early 90s. I won't be surprised if it becomes a thing but it wouldn't like ace. Unless it cost like 45 billion. All those drones being able to dock mid flight fold it's wings while being less then a foot from another drone to the left or right.. But there could be something. Having the ability to bring air cover to anywhere in the matter of hours is huge and the planes being able to do a full combat load
Everyone keeps talking about Ace Combat 7 but is no one gonna acknowledge that Arma 3 Literally has the same drone, but BEFORE ace combat 7 and this was announced, and it too is also launched from a carrier.
If it were to be deployed from the Arsenal bird it would be missing the pod which it uses to refuel the F-35C seen in this video. In that Scenario they would be carried under the arsenal bird and refuel a fleet of Erusean Military F-35C jets. Original intention would have been arsenal Bird MQ-25 & Osean Military F-35B & C jets this is due to the fact that the F-35a has a flying boom which is different from the probe and drogue system. For this drone in Strangreal Ace combat universe it should be Able to refuel Yuktobanian Su-27 flanker family jets Su-57 stealth jets Emmerian Navy F-18s & F-35C possibly Aurelian Navy YR-99 coffin equiped jets if Osea owns them but if Erusea uses them to would be their Military radical factions ally the Belkan Air force probe and drogue planes lastly Lesath & Estovakian probe and drogue planes like Su-33 Tornado GR1

They're designed to work well with electromagnetic catapults since I watch the Science Channel documentary about the Gerald Ford class aircraft carrier.

Modern 229? That POS wasn't the first flying wing aircraft. Jack Northrop had so many variants, including working models while the 229 couldn't even fly. With your logic, every new attack helicopter must be a modernized apache
@@teod1298 You're forgetting a key detail that kept Northrop Flying Wing Aircraft struggled with up until the B2 and why only one bomber flying wing ever was adopted, despite the advantages such a design could yield. Northrop was never able to figure out how to keep these aircraft stable in the air when there was a lack of a Rudder. Meaning Northrop flying wing aircraft were limited, heavily limited on how they can fly, and operate. N-1M is a good example, it could not yaw, could not roll to it's sides either. All it could do was prove you could fly an aircraft without a vertical stabilizer, but not in a fashion that would make it practical for anything...... This problem would plague Northrop's flying wing designs with only the B2 ever solving it. This includes the YB-35, by the time the YB-49 came along Northrop were pretty much forced to put stabilizers and rudders on their flying wings, making them not "True" flying wings. This is a problem that the Norten Brothers actually solved, one that Northrop overlooked. Norten brothers basically decided to use air breaks to provide the necessary effect that a rudder would normally provide similar to what you would see in a Dauntless Dive Bomber with flaps that opened on the backside of the wings up and down together, at different degrees attached to the foot peddles normally associated with the rudder. Though for the Ho229 they functioned similar to dive breaks on a Me410. But they were what was used to make it simulate having a rudder. This gave a pilot a good amount of "Yaw" control, something Northrop designs lacked. This allowed the Norten design to perform, roll, and yaw, something Northrop flying wings could not do, until the B2 Stealth Bomber, which is the only major design by Northrop that Incorporated this feature. Northrop actually sent engineers to look at the Ho229 to see what the heck the Norten company did that gave the Ho229 the ability to do this, something over looked when it was first evaluated decades prior after it was captured. Sadly this has caused a misconception that Northrop copied the Ho229 because of it's stealth characteristics. When that is far from the truth, as it mostly had to do with trying to make a stable flying wing that didn't have an Stabilizer or Rudder, something the Ho229 had but no other Northrop designs achieved. Without being able to make the B2 a stable aircraft without a Rudder/stabilizer it would never be able to be stealthy in the fashion Northrop wanted, the Ho229's yaw controls however were a solution to that problem. So sure, Northrop got the first flying wings in the air, but they were not good aircraft, not until their 1950 designs. Ho229 was decades ahead of it's time because of something as simple as it's ability to yaw proper. Half a century ahead of Northrop's flying wing designs because of a similar innovation that made it better than what Northrop built. It's similar to how the F-14 used the frontal wing slats similar to what was introduced in the BF109B (1936, first aircraft to have forward wing slats that deployed automatically at specific air speeds) that no one else used which provides increased left at slower air speeds taking a concept design introduces decades prior to give a modern aircraft an edge. PS a lot of people copied the BF109's frontal wing slats during WWII but during the early Jet age the concept was too fragile for high speed jets. F-14 is the best modernish example I can think of that it was reintroduced successfully.
Air refueling via long range high capacity drone is a game changer... It removes navy depends on availability of airforce infrastructure and refueling tankers
(Sees flying wing design) "DAE think it's a Ho-229?????" Honestly, people, use your heads. You may as well think that a Spitfire's directly related to an Eagle.
Except the basic aerodynamic principles are much closer than between a Spitfire and an F15 but hey whatever means you can show how much smarter you are than people.
@@areaofdefect907 Yeah, his comparsion is a bit overkill but he still has a point. You can Ho 229 as much as you want but this modern day drone has nothing to do with it, except the aerodynamic principles.
@@Enthropical_Thunder Yeah I get that they're not actually that similar and I'm not saying they are, it's just the comment comes across as very high and mighty when there are good reasons to see a resemblance. I guess we have War Thunder to blame for everyone knowing about the Horten now :P
@@areaofdefect907 Well, my guess is that he could be a bit pissed. I'm not even judging him for that, these comments saying that this drone looks like the Horten is what gets people into making fun of every single technological oddity of the germans and calling everyone a whereaboo that essentially tries to explain them that these oddities mad sense from the perspective of the germans. Maybe that was the reason for the slightly high and mighty' ish comment.
Thanks for releasing this type of stuff. i know its not meant for the public so much as part of a bunch of info you use for investors and clients and whatnot, but just to be able to see some of the the more interesting aspects of these projects is really neat. How cool would it have been if back in the SR-71 days we were getting TH-cam videos of renders and shit like that. Good on ya LM.

1. Can take off and land on a carrier all by itself. 2. Can refuel mid-air all by itself. 3. Capable of delivering payload to a target. US Navy: “We don’t trust it enough.” Turned into a flying tanker. Well done. I suppose the very least this project could do is to not get terminated and found other applications-even though it is capable for more than what it immediately received.
Did you watch the video? Do you have any knowledge of the UCLASS program's objectives? Obviously not. Buddy refueling is just one of the role requirements of this program.
Firstly there are attack and surveillance drones out there already and tanking is extremely important. Secondly, if they're not gonna use it for other purposes from day one already, it's convenient to use it as a tanker first and check it's reliability (probably especially regarding carrier landing) before you load them with more expensive and secret equipment. I'd assume they're no dummies.
Locutus494 I watched the whole video. That’s why I’m commenting, because they downplayed the UCLASS program’s combat purposes and overtly repeated the “buddy tanking” capabilities of the former-to-be X-47B. No need to be offensive. Damian here provided a nice point that I overlooked without claiming that I know nothing of the program’s objectives (which the decision to merely relegate it as a buddy tanker was controversial after the X-47B proved to be fully capable autonomously-which also might have a hand in Northrop withdrawing from the program). I doubt that the MQ-25 would ever demonstrate its combat capabilities when assigned as an air tanker, but perhaps that day might come.
TheRibbonRed It's only a marketing video after all ;) Remember how loads of people were bashing the F-35? .. And now most of NATO orders it. They'll test and evaluate this one and analyze current and future needs and then decide. And while it doesn't look like THE f FUTURE ATTACK DRONE (carrying weapons outside and not 'stealthy'), NATO partners without tanker fleets might be interested in this product.
Funny how you guys come up with spectacular looking beast of a machine and couple countries we all know who instantly come out with a look alike. I have always wonder how well these UAVs could actually perform in actual combat like Boeing's "wingman" project.
This is beautiful! Excellent concept, excellent mission objective. It’s funny; I was just thinking that standard KC-135 tankers will be in grave danger in future air wars that involve extending the native range of the F-22/F-35 over non-allied airspace.
Sept. 14, 2020----Interesting concept, but what's the price tag on it? Got F-18's for example that can do this already AND be combat capable while this drone isn't. How much fuel can it carry vs the F-18? And it would be interesting to see how it handles landing on a carrier in good and bad weather.
F-35 program hasn't reach "1 trillion dollars". Try again. "1 trillion dollars" is for the life of F-35 program with 56 years and four digit unit numbers.
Rnl Valen u realise that no one other than Israeli f35 have seen combat and that too because they modify their systems. Also the 200 previously built jets are already obsolete as they don't support upgrades and cost of upgrading them is more than building new one

Norten brothers basically decided to use air breaks to provide the necessary effect that a rudder would normally provide similar to what you would see in a Dauntless Dive Bomber with flaps that opened on the backside of the wings up and down together, at different degrees attached to the foot peddles normally associated with the rudder. Though for the Ho229 they functioned similar to dive breaks on a Me410. But they were what was used to make it simulate having a rudder.
This gave a pilot a good amount of "Yaw" control, something Northrop designs lacked. This allowed the Norten design to perform, roll, and yaw, something Northrop flying wings could not do, until the B2 Stealth Bomber, which is the only major design by Northrop that Incorporated this feature. Northrop actually sent engineers to look at the Ho229 to see what the heck the Norten company did that gave the Ho229 the ability to do this, something over looked when it was first evaluated decades prior after it was captured. Sadly this has caused a misconception that Northrop copied the Ho229 because of it's stealth characteristics. When that is far from the truth, as it mostly had to do with trying to make a stable flying wing that didn't have an Stabilizer or Rudder, something the Ho229 had but no other Northrop designs achieved. Without being able to make the B2 a stable aircraft without a Rudder/stabilizer it would never be able to be stealthy in the fashion Northrop wanted, the Ho229's yaw controls however were a solution to that problem.
So sure, Northrop got the first flying wings in the air, but they were not good aircraft, not until their 1950 designs. Ho229 was decades ahead of it's time because of something as simple as it's ability to yaw proper. Half a century ahead of Northrop's flying wing designs because of a similar innovation that made it better than what Northrop built. It's similar to how the F-14 used the frontal wing slats similar to what was introduced in the BF109B (1936, first aircraft to have forward wing slats that deployed automatically at specific air speeds) that no one else used which provides increased left at slower air speeds taking a concept design introduces decades prior to give a modern aircraft an edge. PS a lot of people copied the BF109's frontal wing slats during WWII but during the early Jet age the concept was too fragile for high speed jets. F-14 is the best modernish example I can think of that it was reintroduced successfully.

I’m most curious to see how much fuel it can actually store as a tanker, and how (overall) that’d contribute to keeping planes up in the air.
Air refueling via long range high capacity drone is a game changer... It removes navy depends on availability of airforce infrastructure and refueling tankers
Absolutely beautiful
(Sees flying wing design)
"DAE think it's a Ho-229?????"
Honestly, people, use your heads. You may as well think that a Spitfire's directly related to an Eagle.
Exactly, i mean, the Ho 229 had ,beyond every other difference,
obviously 2 engines, not one like this design.
Except the basic aerodynamic principles are much closer than between a Spitfire and an F15 but hey whatever means you can show how much smarter you are than people.
@@areaofdefect907
Yeah, his comparsion is a bit overkill but he still has a point. You can Ho 229 as much as you want but this modern day drone has nothing to do with it, except the aerodynamic principles.
@@Enthropical_Thunder Yeah I get that they're not actually that similar and I'm not saying they are, it's just the comment comes across as very high and mighty when there are good reasons to see a resemblance. I guess we have War Thunder to blame for everyone knowing about the Horten now :P
@@areaofdefect907
Well, my guess is that he could be a bit pissed. I'm not even judging him for that, these comments saying that this drone looks like the Horten is what gets people into making fun of every single technological oddity of the germans and calling everyone a whereaboo that essentially tries to explain them that these oddities mad sense from the perspective of the germans. Maybe that was the reason for the slightly high and mighty' ish comment.
@Lockheed Martin, what do I have to do to pilot one of these when I get adult?
Anyone else think it looks just like the horten 229?

1. Can take off and land on a carrier all by itself.
2. Can refuel mid-air all by itself.
3. Capable of delivering payload to a target.
US Navy: “We don’t trust it enough.”
Turned into a flying tanker.
Well done. I suppose the very least this project could do is to not get terminated and found other applications-even though it is capable for more than what it immediately received.
Did you watch the video? Do you have any knowledge of the UCLASS program's objectives? Obviously not. Buddy refueling is just one of the role requirements of this program.
Firstly there are attack and surveillance drones out there already and tanking is extremely important.
Secondly, if they're not gonna use it for other purposes from day one already, it's convenient to use it as a tanker first and check it's reliability (probably especially regarding carrier landing) before you load them with more expensive and secret equipment.
I'd assume they're no dummies.
Locutus494 I watched the whole video. That’s why I’m commenting, because they downplayed the UCLASS program’s combat purposes and overtly repeated the “buddy tanking” capabilities of the former-to-be X-47B. No need to be offensive.
Damian here provided a nice point that I overlooked without claiming that I know nothing of the program’s objectives (which the decision to merely relegate it as a buddy tanker was controversial after the X-47B proved to be fully capable autonomously-which also might have a hand in Northrop withdrawing from the program).
I doubt that the MQ-25 would ever demonstrate its combat capabilities when assigned as an air tanker, but perhaps that day might come.
TheRibbonRed
It's only a marketing video after all ;)
Remember how loads of people were bashing the F-35? .. And now most of NATO orders it.
They'll test and evaluate this one and analyze current and future needs and then decide.
And while it doesn't look like THE f FUTURE ATTACK DRONE (carrying weapons outside and not 'stealthy'), NATO partners without tanker fleets might be interested in this product.
US Navy has a point however. Newer things need time to prove itselfs reliability

This is beautiful! Excellent concept, excellent mission objective. It’s funny; I was just thinking that standard KC-135 tankers will be in grave danger in future air wars that involve extending the native range of the F-22/F-35 over non-allied airspace.

Sept. 14, 2020----Interesting concept, but what's the price tag on it? Got F-18's for example that can do this already AND be combat capable while this drone isn't. How much fuel can it carry vs the F-18? And it would be interesting to see how it handles landing on a carrier in good and bad weather.
