Pfft... its just a demonstrator...

I like our operational super drone better

This bad boy can carry 8 Hellfires, two GBUs and two Sidewinders (Yep it can go Air-Air on your @$$).

Only down side? We haven't fielded them by the hundreds.

An intercontinental drone?

Quote:
it is designed to travel at high jet speeds and cover massive distances between continents.
I don't think it will have the fuel capacity..... unless they have a drone tanker.

Looks a bit like an A-10.

More Drones... some of these may very well be 'tankers'.

As to duration there is work underway as we speak of a solar powered craft that could stay up indefinatly (barring mechanical failure)
