美國航太新創公司Aevum的RAVN X自主飛行器近日被拖出加州長灘機場機棚,其全黑無駕駛艙設計曾讓現場攝影師誤認為是退役的F-117夜鷹隱形攻擊機。該飛行器原設計用於空中發射火箭,但多年無公開進展,此次現身僅進行地面移動,未聽見引擎聲或見排氣,外界推測可能為有限自主滑行測試,飛行能力仍未確認。

RAVN X是美國航太新創公司Aevum開發的自主飛行器,設計用於載運火箭進行空中發射,2021年首次公開時被稱為火箭發射系統的「母機」,機長約24公尺、翼展約18公尺,重約5.5萬磅。然而多年來該計畫缺乏公開進展更新,外界曾認為專案已停滯或夭折。

〔編譯陳成良/綜合報導〕美國加州長灘機場近日突然出現一架造型流線、塗裝全黑且完全沒有駕駛艙的神秘飛行器,一度讓現場航空攝影師誤以為是美軍已退役的F-117「夜鷹」(Nighthawk)匿蹤攻擊機。這架神祕飛機後來被查出,是美國航太新創公司Aevum打造的「RAVN X」自主飛行器,原本是用來搭載火箭、執行太空酬載發射任務。
美國軍事防務傳媒《The War Zone》報導,當地航空攝影師蕭爾(Ricky Schol)當晚經過長灘機場時,發現一座很久沒有開啟的機棚亮起燈光,上前查看後驚見這架從機棚拖出的巨型黑色飛行器。蕭爾回憶,他第一眼看到時,還以為美軍神祕的F-117匿襤攻擊機悄悄造訪,但靠近後才震驚發現,機體正前方竟然沒有任何駕駛艙。

蕭爾拍下照片後進一步查詢,確認機身上的美國聯邦航空總署(FAA)註冊編號為N567RX,與Aevum公司保留給RAVN X的編號完全相符。《The War Zone》報導判斷,這架現身機體很可能仍是過去曾公開展示過的實體模型。
RAVN X在2021年首度公開時,曾被形容為火箭發射系統的「母機」,負責在空中攜帶火箭升空,再將太空酬載送入軌道。當時公開資料顯示,這架雙發動機飛行器重約5.5萬磅、機長約24公尺、翼展約18公尺,尺寸相當於美國海軍退役的A-5「民團」式(Vigilante)攻擊機。
不過,《The War Zone》報導指出,Aevum當年提出積極時程後,多年未有公開資訊更新,追蹤航太發射活動的網站也顯示,該計畫長期沒有明顯進展,讓外界以為這個專案已經夭折。
RAVN X這次突然在長灘機場的跑道上短暫移動,再度引發航空界揣測。現場目擊者指出,移動過程中,並未聽到引擎運轉的轟鳴聲,也沒有看到排氣或尾焰。報導分析,這代表現場可能僅進行了有限度的地面測試,現階段無法據此認定RAVN X已恢復飛行測試。
目前Aevum公司及執行長斯卡魯斯(Jay Skylus)均未對外說明,這次機體現身的具體用途;另一家航空網站《The Aviationist》則報導,該機可能進行了有限的自主滑行測試,但是否已具備實際飛行能力,仍無法確認。

With the popularity of generative AI, AI detectors such as Pangram and GPTZero are widely used to determine text sources, but their results are often misunderstood as a direct measure of AI usage. The detector gives probability values through language feature analysis, but it cannot accurately restore the writing process and is easily affected by writing style, language background and later modifications. Although technology is improving, the dynamic game of detection and avoidance continues. Experts recommend using detectors as screening tools rather than final judgments, and comprehensive judgments need to be made based on information from multiple aspects such as the writing process.
