Boeing MQ-25 Stingray

Military Aircraft

The Boeing MQ-25 Stingray is an aerial refueling drone for the United States Navy that grew out of the Carrier-Based Aerial-Refueling System program, itself a successor of the UCLASS carrier drone effort the Navy began in 2006. The Navy picked Boeing design on 30 August 2018 and the aircraft first flew on 19 September 2019. It is powered by one Rolls-Royce AE 3007N turbofan engine, a variant of the engine of the MQ-4C Triton, and has stealthy fuselage shaping with a V-tail. The Navy set up Unmanned Carrier Launched Multi-Role Squadron 10 at Patuxent River in October 2022 and in May 2026 approved the start of low-rate initial production, with 76 aircraft planned.
