Air Force Unveils Aerial Drone

It's not everyday that the Air Force welcomes a new aircraft into its fleet, let alone a new aircraft that was produced and made in Israel. The "Shoval", which was integrated yesterday (Wednesday) into the "First Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Squadron," boasts a continuous flight capability of up to 30 hours, a significant payload capacity, and an ability to reach high altitudes.

"This is what we call a 'high-tech mobile unit,' with the best, most powerful computers in the world which enable us to fly the plane and execute missions more complicated than in the past," said Major A., the deputy squadron commander.

Thats one of the biggest UAV's i've seen that uses a prop. I've seen bigger ones, but they used jets or were multi engined.

If air compressor are useful to fly a plane maybe this can be the next future? I have idea but i am not sure if its going to work the system is like hover craft on the both end of the wing so it like a rail way system and this pushes the plane and the rest is for you to lear and find solution my theory is a glider system?

the US military has planes already designed and tested that will ull over 30 g`s no human pilot can sustain those g-forces to a body.... I wonder if you all have read the book 1984?

There are plans for that in F-117s, not 15s. May or may not make it passed initial testing phase.
