Shield AI is outfitting its groundbreaking X-BAT unmanned vertical takeoff fighter with a vintage axisymmetric vectoring jet engine originally tested in the 1990s. Designed for the F-16, this mature propulsion technology will now power the world's first artificial intelligence-piloted VTOL aircraft, combining robust legacy engineering with cutting-edge autonomous flight software to revolutionize modern aerial warfare capabilities.
