Boeing's MQ-25 Up Close

Get some up-close views of the #MQ25 test asset! This unmanned aerial refueler is working through ground and flight tests with an underwing pod containing the hose and basket that will refuel U.S. Navy fighter aircraft mid-air.

Looks very nice. I like that the engine intake is up top like that, so it'll be much safer for the people who have to move around the aircraft during carrier ops.

Thank you to the Boeing Teams involved for making Quality Products for our Service Men & Women 🇺🇸

Yeah, that's a carrier-rated landing gear, that's for sure!

After watching a history video of the reaper this is a definite upgrade

[anonymousperson]

Wow. Great look at all the outer features!

[corey]

*Children in Syria will love this one*

looks pretty nice and i like both Boeing and Airbus

Think of the lives and equipment this system can save. Tanking bolters that cannot get aboard during night operations on a pitching deck in heavy seas with low visibility? I can't wait to see it in NAVY markings and hope it is the game changer it appears to be. High fives to the development team!

PLEASE tell me those are guns at the front of the nose & not pitot tubes 🙏

Love the shot of the guy giving hand signal commands to a mock-up of an experimental drone.

The Navy develops high tech stealth drone that can operate with a carrier. Turns it into a tanker so they don't hurt naval aviators feelings.

That’s engineering at its best...however a little scary !!

[therobloxianaviator]

at this point i think boeing is more of a military aviation corporation rather than just an aviation corporation

[robbie]

it actually makes alot of sense. i wonder if the MQ25 and the BATS are capable of working together.

[nnsense]

The MQ 25 is basicaly that one cool kid on your class

[burntchickennugget]

first 3 seconds. "Is that a puddle or a mirror... oh its a puddle."

[Hotwwhheels]

Cool, now can we put it in a shipping container, give it AA missiles and make it have better AI?
Oh also build a space elevator if we are at it?
