Boeing’s thrown the typical sleek, streamlined, design out the window with their Phantom Eye UAV. The Unmanned drone is bulbous in shape, almost like a gigantic bomb with a couple flimsy wings slapped on to it. What makes this UAV different however, is that it’s powered purely by hydrogen. The 45 meter wingspan and 200 kg payload will allow the Phantom Eye to stay airborne for four days non-stop without refueling or landing. That’s some amazing extended aerial surveillance capabilities. The video shows the test flight, it lasted 28 minutes reaching 4,000 feet and 150 knots all without any human assistance. Boeing plans to equip future versions with four times the payload, giving ten day non-stop surveys.

Powering the aircraft are dual 2.3-liter, four-cylinder engines that provide 150 horsepower each, although not stealthy, the cruising speed of approximately 150 knots is enough to conduct surveillance or just drop a few bombs on the “enemy.”

Boeing Phantom Eye hydrogen-powered unmanned bomber plane

If the Taranis wasn’t enough military thrust for you, have a look at Boeing’s bowling pin shaped unmanned hydrogen powered aircraft system, the Phantom Eye.

Capable of flying at 65,000 feet for four days straight with its 150 foot wingspan and 450 pound payload, the Phantom Eye will surely keep any neighboring infidels in check. Powering the aircraft are dual 2.3-liter, four-cylinder engines that provide 150 horsepower each, although not stealthy, the cruising speed of approximately 150 knots is enough to conduct surveillance or just drop a few bombs on the “enemy.”

Expect Boeing’s Phantom Eye to visit NASA’s Dryden Flight Research Center at Edwards Air Force Base, California for typical ground and taxi tests in preparation for its lift off in early 2011.
