US Navy X-47B Robot Fighter Jet Completes First Ph...
Super high tech, advanced-robot fighter jet... not able to retract landing gear? (from video). Did that bother anyone else?

Generally, the first test flights won't have an aircraft raise its gear.

I imagine it can retract its landing gear. It was probably left down for the test; one less thing to fail.
