Art Description
Sorry for the rough quality, my camera isn’t too good. This is also delayed because for the life of me, I couldn’t figure out if it was white or a very light gray.
Yes, this is a real aircraft. The Boeing Yal-1 is a modded B747-400 with a 1 megawatt laser on the nose. This plane, after configuration of course, first flew in 2002 and was designated Yal-1A in 2004 with one goal: Intercept ballistic missiles by blowing them up with a laser. It successfully destroyed 2 test targets in 2010. This plane was sadly scrapped in 2014. It was shot 4 times on record, 1 low power beam at a target to test it, a high powered beam at a test target, then destroyed the 2 test missiles. The Yal-1 paved the way for either 2 things: Modern laser weaponry (this for sure), or Star Wars weapons (unlikely, but could be true ). Hope you guys like it.
(If I should make any other unique B747s, let me know which one!)
