First flight for new jet-powered Avenger UAV: A turbojet-powered unmanned aerial vehicle by General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc. has successfully completed its first flight.
The aircraft is called the Avenger Extended Range, a variant of the company's jet-powered Predator C Avenger, which has accumulated over 13,000 flight hours to date.
GA-ASI said the flight occurred late last month at its Gray Butte Flight Operations Facility in Palmdale, Calif.
