This weeks AW&ST has an article on a new UCAV that Lockheed is working
on that would be launched from an F-22. It would have a range of a
thousand miles, landing gear etc. etc. It would weigh about 7500
pounds and each fighter would carry two. My question is this: The
published information I've seen lists the F-22's pylons as being rated
at 5000lbs so how would it carry a 7500lb munition? Would they just
severly restrict it's G loading when carrying it? Use some kind of
adapter that attaches to BOTH hardpoints on a wing and carry it in the
middle? Or would they beef up the wing?

Are you sure it said "launched," and not "controlled from?"

If it really meant "launched," maybe they mistyped "750 pounds."
