‘History Has Been Made’: First Aussie Made Military Aircraft in 50 Years Takes Off
The first Australian military aircraft designed and developed in half a century the Loyal Wingman has successfully completed its first flight on the weekend.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison said the program is a testament to the ingenuity of Australia’s defence industry.
“History has been made,” Morrison said.
Introduced in February 2019, the unmanned Loyal Wingman has a range of more than 3,700 kilometres and keeps crewed capabilities out of harm’s way by projecting power forward via artificial intelligence. Loyal Wingman (Supplied by Boeing)
