The UK’s first autonomous full-size helicopter Proteus has completed its maiden flight.

The Royal Navy said the helicopter was designed and built by Leonardo in Yeovil under a £60m programme for the Royal Navy and would “unlock the potential of uncrewed aerial systems”.

The aircraft was designed and manufactured in Yeovil and operates from Predannack Airfield in Cornwall, where its maiden flight took place.
