Airbus this week revealed the concept for a new fighter-type drone, called Wingman, and showcased a model of it at Berlin’s massive ILA Air Show.
The drone would be an “unmanned escort for manned fighter jets,” Airbus said in a statement, noting that it is designed to operate in a similar way to an actual wingman. In aviation, a wingman is a pilot in a secondary aircraft that supports and protects the primary one.
