MQ-25™スティングレイ：空母で運用できる無人空中給油機

210604-N-NO101-151 MASCOUTAH, Ill. (June 4, 2021) An unmanned Boeing MQ-25 T1 Stingray test aircraft, left, refuels a manned F/A-18 Super Hornet, June 4, 2021, near MidAmerica Airport in Mascoutah, Illinois. This successful flight demonstrated that the MQ-25 Stingray can fulfill its tanker mission using the Navy’s standard probe-and-drogue aerial refueling method. Testing with the unmanned MQ-25 T1 Stingray will continue over the next several months. The MQ-25A Stingray will be the world’s first operational carrier-based unmanned aircraft and provide critical aerial refueling and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities that greatly expand the global reach, operational flexibility and lethality of the carrier air wing and carrier strike group.

210826-N-NO250-1040 PHILIPPINE SEA (Aug. 26, 2021) Two F-35B Lightning II aircraft from Marine Fighter Attack Squadron (VMFA) 211, embarked aboard the Royal Navy aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth (R08), and an F/A-18E Super Hornet assigned to Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 192, embarked aboard aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70), conduct mid-air refueling in support of joint interoperability flights between the Carl Vinson Carrier Strike Group (VINCSG) and the U.K. Carrier Strike Group (CSG-21), Aug. 26, 2021. The Carl Vinson Carrier Strike Group is on a scheduled deployment in the U.S. 7th Fleet area of operation to enhance interoperability with allies and partners to serve as a ready-response force in support of a free and open Indo-Pacific region.

210818-O-NO101-151 MASCOUTAH, Ill. (Aug. 18, 2021) An MQ-25 Stingray unmanned aerial vehicle refuels an E-2D Advanced Hawkeye aircraft over MidAmerica Airport in Mascoutah, Ill., Aug. 18, 2021. This test marks the second successful refueling flight for the MQ-25 program. The six-hour flight, conducted by Air Test and Evaluation Squadron (VX) 20, tested the Boeing-owned MQ-25 test asset’s fuel transfer, formation evaluations, wake surveys, drogue tracking and plugs at 220 knots calibrated airspeed at 10,000 feet.

211130-N-AV609-1172 NORFOLK (Nov. 30, 2021) A Boeing unmanned MQ-25 aircraft is craned onto the flight deck aboard the aircraft carrier USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77). The MQ-25 will be the worlds first operational, carrier-based unmanned aircraft and is integral to the future carrier air wing (CVW). It will provide an aerial refueling capability that extends the range, operational capability and lethality of the CVW and carrier strike group (CSG). GHWB is operating in the Atlantic Ocean in support of naval operations to maintain maritime stability and security in order to ensure access, deter aggression and defend U.S., allied and partner interests.
