Airbus and Kratos Defense & Security Solutions flew the XQ-58A Valkyrie for the first time in Europe, using a rocket‑assisted takeoff.
During the flight the aircraft performed maneuvers at various altitudes and speeds, reaching Mach 0.8, and mission parameters were adjusted in flight; the test prepares for further trials with Airbus’ MARS mission system, which is intended to give European operators control over software, mission applications, data and hardware.
