QinetiQs Solar-Powered UAV Program Resumes Testing
That lot from Boscombe are getting busy again.
http://govconwire.com/2009/11/news-q...sumes-testing/ One of the most impressive recent UAV developments in my opinion. Makes ya proud. Even if Boscombe is not in Somerset. |

I wonder what kind of payload this airframe can lift. Given a hand launch it can't be very much, although I like the idea of a 3 month flight. Most of my flights have been significantly shorter than that....
