Anduril seeks to accelerate Roadrunner development with civil flight approval

Anduril Industries is seeking permission from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to conduct developmental test flights of its Roadrunner uncrewed jet. The turbojet-powered aircraft, designed as a drone interceptor or ISR platform, will undergo testing following recent approvals. Anduril’s California headquarters are focused on expanding flight testing operations for this distinctive vertical take-off and landing jet. This request represents an effort to accelerate the development process of the Roadrunner technology. The FAA approval would allow Anduril to proceed with operational tests in civil airspace.
