low cast ? Disposible ?
The U.S. Air Force is planning to field low-cost, unmanned “disposable” warplanes in the near future, designed to complement manned aircraft in the aerial battlefield. Unmanned aircraft can be purchased in greater numbers, growing the size of the Air Force’s tactical aircraft fleets, and can be sent on missions too hazardous for manned aircraft.
Air Force officials, in comments made at the 2019 Defense News conference, stated that one of the technologies it was investing it was “low-cost, single use aircraft”. Fighter Jets World quotes Stephen Trimble, Defense Editor at Aviation Week & Space Technology on Twitter saying the Air Force now uses the term “reusable” and “disposable” when talking about the unmanned aircraft.
