Neither the Air Force nor Northrop Grumman would speak about the classified airplane. When queried about the project, Air Force spokeswoman Jennifer Cassidy said, “The Air Force does not discuss this program.”

From the link:



A large, classified unmanned aircraft developed by Northrop Grumman is now flying—and it demonstrates a major advance in combining stealth and aerodynamic efficiency. Defense and intelligence officials say the secret unmanned aerial system (UAS), designed for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) missions, is scheduled to enter production for the U.S. Air Force and could be operational by 2015.

2015 appears to be a big year for military technology. Allegedly, they are housing this new drone in a hanger at Area 51: http://www.wptv.com/dpp/news/science_tech/rq-180-us-seeks-spy-edge-with-stealth-drone

Maybe they don't want the troops to know that each drone flying reduces jobs done by humans.

Soon, the military will all be holding mops and brooms, doing slave work, while the drones do the "man's work",

and finally men will understand what it's like to be a slave themselves, since they love enslaving women and minorities...

Just what we need , not food , or shelter but , more advanced ways to spy and hide and kill people ... sad , the money spent on that project could have fed an entire state for life ...
