Ryan AQM-34 Firebee I
|
|
|
The
Firebee series of target drones and remotely piloted vehicles
(RPV) is one of the most successful families of unmanned aircraft
ever built. The latest versions are still in use today.
First flown in 1951 as the Q-2, the Firebee was
used as a high subsonic speed target drone.
With aircraft losses mounting in Vietnam, the
Firebee was modified for the reconnaissance role. Other
Firebees have been modified attack (AGM-34) and supersonic (Firebee
II) targets. |
