A company best-known for developing a healthy share of the aircraft civilians use to jet around the globe, and military pilots use to blaze toward their objectives, is now developing an Android-based smartphone that will self-destruct if a third party attempts to break in and extract its secrets.

The company has been developing this phone for more than two years, but only this week filed paperwork with the FCC to have it approved for actual use.

The phone, codenamed “Black,” comes with all the features that savvy consumers are demanding as well, such as support for all the wireless spectrums used globally (GSM, LTE, and WCDMA), plus some wireless technologies like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. According to the company's spec sheet, it features a 4.3-inch, 540 x 960 display and 1.2 GHz ARM Cortex-A9 CPUs. A back panel can be extended to work with solar chargers, biometric scanners, advanced location tracking and satellite receivers — great tools for spies on the move. Or just a jet-setting executive who has a habit of forgetting his phone on the bar.
