Meet the Air Force’s secretive long-range drone that flies for days BY AUDREY DECKER STAFF WRITER JULY 2, 2024 https://www.defenseone.com/technology/2024/07/meet-air-forces-secretive-long-range-drone-flies-days/397816/
This is a touring motor glider, with a camera installed. These are light aircraft with very long wings. Radios and computer are installed in place of the pilot. There are many such available. Hardly revolutionary technology.
The UK BAE Systems HERTI UAV, based on the Polish J-6 Fregata motor glider, was tested at Woomera: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BAE_Systems_HERTI
The problem is to find a design suitable for mass production. -- Tom Worthington http://www.tomw.net.au
