Lockheed’s Sikorsky engineers began with a leftover US Army UH-60L Black Hawk. They purchased the helicopter earlier this year and converted it into something altogether new: the S-70UAS U-Hawk, an autonomous aircraft.

Motorola’s Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) drops in at a price that’s easy enough to fit in your pocket – and in your budget – at $199.99, a $200 discount from its original price of $399.99.
