Boeing unveils Ghost Bat, the new name for Loyal Wingman

Boeing has unveiled its branding for its newly-renamed MQ-28A Ghost Bat aircraft, previously known as Loyal Wingman. The blue and white typeface is revealed in this 40-second video, which you can see below, that shows the aircraft take-off, land and retract its landing gear. Ghost Bat, first unveiled to the world in May 2020, is the first military aircraft to be designed, engineered and manufactured in Australia in more than 50 years. It uses AI to help both manned and unmanned aircraft in mid-air, hence the Australian project name Loyal Wingman. Boeing said in a statement released on Monday morning that the name was chosen because it is “an Australian native mammal known for teaming together in a pack to detect and hunt”.
