MASCOUTAH, Ill. (Sept. 13, 2021) An unmanned Boeing MQ-25 T1 Stingray
test aircraft, left, refuels a manned F-35 Lightning II, Sept. 13, 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. (U.S. Navy
