US Navy now has their own Cylon Raider!
They just need a red LED light go back and forth.
First the navy builds the star destroyer now they have the raider to go along with it!

That is pretty damn cool! But, why does it have a windshield (are they called windshields on planes?) if there is nobody inside?

I believe that's the jet intake.

I see a glare coming off it though so I have to assume it's some kind of glass...could be wrong though.

If that thing is called the X-47B then it's only in the testing/proving phase and has not yet made it to production. X-series planes are always prototypes.

I'd say it's a windscreen, most likely for forward looking instruments like cameras.

To me the windshield probably looks like the front end of a sensor pod.

It's definitely the intake: http://www.is.northropgrumman.com/sy...b_gallery.html
They mask the actual fan blades in the engine with that ducting in the middle to reduce radar signature.

I see what you did there... nice work.
After watching Stealth, Eagle Eye, etc... I'd avoid this thing as much as possible.
