Boeing has created a modern day Spirit of St. Louis, except instead of Charles Lindburg there is a computer brain and instead of inspiring generations of dreaming children it will drop 4,500 pounds of bombs on them. The newest "unmanned combat aerial vehicle," the X-45C, weighs about four tons, has a 49-foot wingspan, and will able to cruise at an altitude of 40,000 feet.
