Very cool. I dont think this particular article mentions it, but it is capable of being airborne for 3 weeks. and it is a MANNED or UNMANNED vehicle. the pilot can throw on cruise control and go nap.

Yeah, I read this on foxnews.com the other day and read that it is supposed to stay over a certain area for a long time which leads me to think that this is an easy target. I wonder what they plan to do with this exactly to prevent an attack, even if NATO forces have total air control. Thoughts?

Click to expand...

Put Osama Bin Laden in it and no one will be able to find it or at least it will escape just before anyone tries to shoot it down.
 
man that thing is huge! have to agree with RatLab, nothing stealthy about that!
 
Looks cool... but last I recall they were developing "Aurora" to be the current survellience aircraft... What the hell would we need this for? Granted it can hover for 3 weeks, but a stealth aircraft would be capable to fly over, gather intelligence unnoticed and return in time for lunch.
 
maybe thats the michelin mans obese kid!
