AFRL completes fourth flight test of XQ-58A Valkyrie demonstrator

The US Air Force (USAF) has completed the fourth flight test of the XQ-58A Valkyrie long-range, high subsonic, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) demonstrator over the Yuma Proving Ground in Arizona on 23 January, the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) announced the next day.

AFRL said in its announcement that the XQ-58A demonstrator successfully completed all test objectives, pointing out that the UAV had been flown at a higher altitude to acquire data that would be more representative of operational flight conditions.

The XQ-58A Valkyrie demonstrator performed its fourth test flight on 23 January. It is pictured in flight during an earlier demonstration.
