The ultimate RC jet.. complete with weapons!

So sad to see such a magnificent plane used for target practice... :(

you'd rather it sits in the desert, never to fly again?

It was a great day. Watching QF-004 take to the air was awesome. It did just what Boeing said it would do. This target will be leaps and bounds over our QF-4 aircraft. I was glad to be a part of history. Well done Boeing.

I use Combat flight simulator and it makes perfect sense to unretire these and take them into battle once again without risking pilots

It is a sad day when F-16's are used to be flying targets for new pilots. I get it new Pilots like me need help but F-16's are awesome. Still great engineering by Boeing :)

avaliable at Hobby King soon! ;)

You convinced me boeing, so gonna make a 777x my next buy

Target??? WTF!! why not use these as fighter planes instead of putting human lives at risk?

,,, With these ,,,it'll make them better able to take chances they might not normally take to get their objective accomplished ,,, i luv it ,,,

Q- since it is unmanned will it fly more aggressive than a manned flight due to the physiological shortcomings of the human body at high speed complex maneuvers ? Fly unmanned can one out fly a newer gen plane if they are a good enough pilot?

if the intent is to train the pilots attacking these planes, they will electronically limit capacities to match enemy target pilots. on the other hand if the idea is to test what can be done if the physical and psychological limits of the pilot are removed, it could lead in some interesting directions.

The PERFECT drone!!!

Can someone explain why the cooling system is on full blast in the cockpit?

This is only a logical step......Excellent usage!!!!!

It appears that Boeing is under contract to develop the QF-16 for the Air Force. The F-16 is a amazing aircraft. I was on that program for two years and Lockheed is still building them!

the flight of QF16 was cancel on our founding father Mr Lee Kuan Yew's funeral due 2 heavy downpour :)

Boeing, can you put thrust vectoring on F/A-18, F-16 and F-15 like F-16 VISTA, F-18 HARV and F-15 ACTIVE?

I think they should use these in combat just inaugurate the weapons system like the predator drone

Well done !!

amazing! love boeing

This is very interesting. I'm currently doing a project on the whole 'unmanned cockpits' debate. Will we see commercial jets without pilots in the future?

If it can be operated remotely, does that mean it can be hijacked remotely? I mean there are always people out there who are better in technologies, right?

So what does the QF stand for?

Better focus on being an engineer kids.

life-size F-16 RC plane !

So basically it's a giant RC plane. Sweet

YES UNA HERMOSURA DE AVIONES BOEING

awesome!

I don't know how to feel about this but wouldn't be expensive to just destroy daily? I want an answer

Amazing!!

i dont understand why Boeing is using a Lockheed aircraft to do these tests.

Boeing has hit the jackpot. Build expensive planes that will be shot down and reordered all year round lol.

Awesome plane

Too good

how about QB777-200 ER ?

There should be extensive fire walls and even with this test version it was fitted with self destruct system so if in the event of something like this would kick in but even at last resort you could send another fighter jet up to intercept it and take it down so risk is minimal. the only thing i could think of is if the system became corrupt, a bird strike or lightning strike i don't think the computer could handle that amount of problems i share your view pilots should not be replaced tho !

The future pilots have already been born...

so easy to observe our military technology im sure adversaries have no problem observing our capabilities this is not ok.

What's that steam looking stuff going off in the cockpit?

crazy.

It could be more deadly now with no pilot to pass out.

great ! high technology

Keep up the great work Boeing!!!!!!!!!!!

They'll still probably use remote pilots for these things for quite awhile though.

It's my favorite plane, but it's a sad sight to see that it is a target now. 😔

Is it for just to test recruits or is it actually for war

thats almost criminal using that great aircraft as a target

Be a remote pilot, or pilot a larger plane, but I wouldn't be set on being a fighter pilot if I were you.

wow

¿Can a F-16 neutralize an Electromagnétic Impulse of Boreal of low frecuency longitudinal waves sistem called H.A.A.P?. In all of the cases, congratullations.

That is plausible. Imagine a squadron of drones flying their mission when suddenly they are cut off from HQ by a signal jammer. Those airplanes become useless and either they are programmed to return or they just fall down like apples from a tree. That woudl not happen if pilots were inside obviously. However how many experienced pilots would be saved from certain death in a real mission... There are pros and cons to everything. But human life is priceless.

If it like the x-45 that autounmannedly in F15/16 I will gave u a like

Now use it and keep out guys out of the fight in the air when they don't have to be there. Its just a big RC plane. No big deal. Come on guys this stuff has been around for years.

This is what they should be doing instead of sinking so much money into the X47 project.

thats the most expensive target ever..........holy crap

Wow this is good for kamikaze

Why shoot them down? Why not just scrap them? Do they scavenge parts after they've shot it down?

F16 on DRONE mode.

It would be interesting if this would became a target of F-35 Lightning. More interesting if in close combat mode.

imagine the pilot sit on a simulator with oculus rift, would be AWESOME!!!

For a real F16 pilot, it would be like the proverbial kissing your sister.

Awesome

It's the future. It's very unlikely anyone would hack it remotely and it's near impossible for someone to get close enough to hack physically. It wouldn't be hard to build in a cutoff or have some 3rd party tool verify the signal is legitimate. All the major limitations of high-end fighters have to do with the pilot now--Imagine not needing to weed out pilots that can't take the g-forced, suddenly your airforce has planes without human limits and as many pilots as they will ever need!

sexyest and most nimble aircraft ever made! F-22 only matches it, and not exceed sure its stealthy but that isnt every thing!

it's called an aloran roll

dude almost 500,000 views but no likes or dislikes?!?!? WHAT?!?!?!?

Like !

So cool

Says who?

W.O.W

amazing that is a block 15

Virtually every new commercial airliner being built has the ability do makes its entire flight without human input once on the runway so it's a little late for this argument.

Saab racing

No computer should ever replace a pilot. Even if it is a remote control, what if a terrorist hacked or got into the HQ and took control of the aircraft. Thats a bad idea.

Cuz why not.

very very interesting , and i hope that i be there someday, i hope this could be used not to kill innocent peopss

CNI mas

hi

Don't shoot it down! Give it to ME!

So why not just fight battles this way without risking pilots' lives?

well pilots we can't have drones flying are planes we need to stop that we need humans flying in there not micro chips!!!

Same here haha

Its just going to be shot down. Some hotshot in a F-22 is going to blow this thing out of the sky one day.

Great.... now someone can hack it....

Let's see, Drones that land on aircraft carrier, un-manned F16s. Yes, this is how the future will be fought, maybe Sky net is not that far fetch after all.

Should this be legal?

Dance bally

If you dont need it please give me one

These planes are not fully autonomous. Today's pilots are assisted heavily by computers. The only real change here is the location of the pilot.

Not gonna actually shoot it down

Fancy RC toy with FPV..... I thought the FAA did not allow the flights of drones or RC with FPV in US territory....

Näää... The plane was already flown by computers... Software update and u r done.
