The first Roll-out of the X-47A was on 30th July 2001, but the first flight of the X-47A was on 23rd February 2003. During the test program no bombs were dropped, however 225 kg dummy bombs were monted in the internal weapon bays, the reason for that was to simulate the loaded weight of the UAV during flight testing. It´s design is basically a tailless flying arrowhead. It has six control surfaces two elevons and and four inlaids. The X-47A´s inlaids are mounted on the top and the bottom of the wings forward of the wingtips and they are small flap structures.
