1. X-47B PEGASU
The Pegasus drone is one of the few unmanned aircrafts that is designed for aircraft carriers. The drone is huge and is designed to cruise at 0.45 Mach and can attain speeds of over 180 mph. An important feature of the Pegasus is that it can easily take off from the ground and land all by itself, in addition to refueling over the ocean. It can also be fitted with smart bombs and other weaponry that can self-deploy using the onboard computer systems.

It cruises at 345.271 or more miles per hour which is what Mach .45 is.
It can take off by itself from an aircraft carrier as well as land on an aircraft carrier.
It can be refueled by an air tanker as many times as necessary over any place on earth that it is safe enough to do this.
It is built so it can choose when to launch it's own weapons if it has been given permission to do this even if it is cut off from communication from all human personnel on the ground.
