An Air Force MQ-1 Predator remotely piloted aircraft crashed on the Nevada Test and Training Range northwest of Las Vegas during a routine training mission, announced officials at nearby Creech Air Force Base. No one was injured on May 1 when the aircraft came down in an unpopulated area one mile southeast of Cactus Springs, according to the base’s release.
The KC-Z4, a blended wing body tanker concept being developed by startup JetZero, could fuel larger groups of aircraft at longer range to hold more targets at risk, company officials say.
