Weekly Tech Article 5/6

The Boeing Phantom Ray has completed its maiden flight. This drone jet is capable to gathering intelligence and military surveillance. It reached a height of 7500 feet above the ground traveling at 200 mph even though it was designed to reach speeds of 600 mph at 40,000 feet. The delta shaped aircraft has a wingspan of 50 feet and can change course mid flight at the click of a button. Boeing hopes the plane will be used during reconnaissance missions, combat missions, and autonomous re-fueling.
