BAE Systems were highlighting the news from the latest flight tests on their Taranis Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle at Farnborough this week.



This aircraft is roughly the same size as the Hawk used by the RAF's Red Arrows team and is designed to be the prototype for a combat drone - capable of long range strikes in hostile territory.



Further information on Taranis, appropriately named after the Celtic god of thunder and the Neuron combat drone being developed by Dassault Aviation can be found here.
