See the XQ-67A combat drone's first flight as the US Air Force works to build its fleet of manned and AI-piloted aircraft

• General Atomics released video showing the maiden flight of the US Air Force's XQ-67A drone.
• The autonomous aircraft is part of the service's effort to build out its manned and unmanned fleet.
• The Air Force plans to deliver 100 collaborative combat aircraft by 2029, with up to 2,000 in total.

In what appears to be a fist pump as a rapidly built and developed new combat technology comes to life, the US Air Force and contractor General Atomics Aeronautical Systems (GA-ASI) have released a 90-second video showing the first flight of the XQ-67A, a likely predecessor of the service's long-anticipated collaborative combat aircraft, or CCA.
