This article will cover four drone models that you can use for your next mission. These include the XCalibur+ Jet Trainer, MQ-20 Avenger, QF-16 and QF-16. Each model has its own unique advantages and disadvantages. A successful drone mission will depend on the model you choose. There are many options. You can read on to learn more about the different models and where to purchase them.
XCalibur+ jet trainer
The Netherlands Aerospace Centre is testing a large drone known as the XCalibur+ Jet Trainer at Twente Airport. The professional-grade jet-propelled drone is approved and designed to provide pilots with the opportunity to fly jet-powered aircraft. The aircraft also has a simple-to-transport fibreglass fuselage, and a one-bolt top latch. There are many colors available for the XCalibur+.
XQ58A Valkyrie
The XQ-58A Valkyrie drone is a joint development of Kratos and Air Force Research Laboratory. Three of these aircraft have successfully flown. One of the jets crashed in October last year. The XQ-58A is capable of flying over 650 miles an hour and can fire and drop bombs. The jet also features precision-guided JDAMs (small diameter bombs) that can be used for overpowering enemy air defenses. The National Air Force Museum will display the Valkyrie later in the year, or in 2022.
MQ-20 Avenger
The U.S. Air Force is expected to purchase a MQ-20 Avenger drone jet. The Avenger has the ability to perform both reconnaissance and combat missions. The payload that is on board the Avenger will also affect its ability to perform a mission. The Air Force did not specify who could purchase the Avengers. It is not known when or where the Avenger may be operational. However, it is possible for it to be sent to Afghanistan as part of field testing.
QF-16
A new drone jet has been developed by the US Air Force. The QF-16 drone can perform barrel rolls and simulate air combat. It also has the ability to bank, turn, flare and land after a training exercise. It is expected that it will replace QF-4, the drone jet that crashed in July and shut down a highway in Florida Panhandle. The QF-4 was destroyed in July and a highway in Florida Panhandle was closed.
JF-17 Thunder
Nigeria's JF-17 Thunder Multi-Role Fighter Jet was credited with intercepting an unidentified UAV while it was flying. Aselpod was fitted to the aircraft. This pod can identify the position and movement of any ground or airborne target. These pods were part of a bundle deal between Nigeria and Pakistan.
Super Mushshak, (Aircraft Model)
PAC has exported its Supermushshak trainer aircraft into Nigeria and Qatar. It also received its largest export order. PAC was awarded a contract by the Undersecretary of Defense Industries of Turkey on September 7 to supply 52 Super Mushihak drone jets for the Turkish Armed Forces. The deal came after a competitive bidding process in July 2016.
Karakoram 8
Pakistani Air Force is proposing to sell 20-30 K-8 aircraft jets to Iraq. These drone jets are designed to fight terrorism. The Karakoram-8 drone is manufactured at the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex. Super Mushshak (AM), the next-generation of training planes, is also an option for Pakistan's Air Force.
