The Royal Navy has begun exploring the use of un-crewed technology on the new aircraft carriers. Fixed-wing drones, called the QinetiQ Banshee Jet 80+, were flown from the carrier’s flight deck to study how they can be used to train personnel in defending against ever-more capable fast jets and missiles. The jet-powered Banshee can soar to 25,000ft, skim just above the waves, and flies at speeds up to 400 knots (around 460mph). LPhot Ben Corbett/Royal Navy/Crown Copyright/PA Wire
