Northrop Grumman’s XRQ-73 starts flight testing
Northrop Grumman has started flight testing its XRQ-73 hybrid electric uncrewed aircraft, designed to advance propulsion technologies for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency’s SHEPARD program.
The aircraft’s hybrid electric propulsion system will offer efficient fuel consumption and lower emissions, alongside improved operational flexibility.
