The Black Knight Transformer, built by Advanced Tactics, Inc., is an unmanned vehicle designed to combine the capabilities of a helicopter, such as the ability to take off and land anywhere, with the capabilities of an off-road truck.

The futuristic flying machine could one day be used by the U.S. military to deliver cargo or evacuate casualties.

During its first test flight in March 2014, the Black Knight Transformer demonstrated a stable and controlled hover.

The landmark flight demonstration was conducted at a secret location in southern California.
