K-MAX unmanned chopper delivers Air Force salute to Afghan danger (video)

It is a year since Lockheed Martin won the contract to present an unmanned cargo delivery system to the united states military and now its first K-MAX helicopter is simply about ready for duty. The 6,000-pound RC chopper is scheduled to journey to the manifold fronts of Afghanistan next month, where it’ll get busy ferrying its own bodyweight in ammo and supplies to needy anthills as much as 200km away. And, if things get too sticky for laptop flying, there’s always room for a brave soul to leap in there and grab the controls. You can find a fresh demo video after the break, plus we’ve also stuck in that fancy clip from last year to rotor your memory.
