【英國雷神無人機】英國最神秘航空計劃，為打破美國無人機霸主地位，能否恢復日不落帝國榮光？

英國航太雷神（英語：BAE Systems Taranis）是以英國航太系統為首組成的團隊研發的無人戰鬥機 (UCAV)。「雷神」一名取材自英國凱爾特神話，寓意無攻不克、無堅不摧。 該無人機代表著英國航空工業的極致，並有助英國軍隊制定未來的作戰及防禦策略。

「雷神」無人機採用飛翼佈局及低探測性複合材料設計，以降低長距離作戰中遭敵軍雷達偵測的機會。其用途集持續偵測、情報共享、鎖定目標及打擊任務為一身。根據最初預定的性能規格，該機具備時速1235公里的超音速表現及洲際打擊能力
BAE Systems Taranis is an unmanned combat aircraft (UCAV) developed by a team led by BAE Systems. The name “Thor” is derived from the British Celtic mythology, which means that there is nothing to conquer and nothing to conquer. The UAV represents the pinnacle of the British aviation industry and will help the British Army develop future combat and defense strategies.

The “Thor” UAV adopts a flying-wing layout and a low-detection composite material design to reduce the chance of being detected by enemy radars in long-range combat. It is used for continuous detection, intelligence sharing, targeting and strike missions. According to the originally scheduled performance specifications, the aircraft has a supersonic performance of 1,235 kilometers per hour and an intercontinental strike capability.
