The Grumman X-47B verbiage may have come back through a time portal. The X-47B had its first test flight on February 7th. It's a little soon be doing carrier landings and operational deployments. Carrier trials are slated for 2013.[1] The cost is stunning. The entire 6 year program cost appears to be only about $600m. That is, the whole development was done for the cost of about 4 manned fighters. [1] There is a similar looking, much more secret Lockheed RQ-170 operational in Afghanistan, but it probably doesn't carry 2+ tons of bombs.
