Summary/Abstract

Taranis, a top secret unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), which is considered to be the most advanced aircraft ever built by British engineers, successfully carried out its first flight tests in August 2013. The information, however was released to the media only in February 2014 by the UK ministry of defence (MoD) and the manufacturer BAE systems. “The UK has developed a significant lead in understanding unmanned aircraft which could strike with precision over a long range whilst remaining undetected,” said a statement from BAE systems. “The technological advances made through Taranis will also help the UK MoD and Royal Air Force (RAF) make decisions on the future mix of manned and unmanned fast jet aircraft and how they will operate together in a safe and effective manner for the UK’s defence”.
