About 15 yrs ago BAe messed around with a project called SABA ('small
agile battlefield aicraft') one of the designs touted was a v.
lightweight pusher UDF propellor craft with about a 2 ton warload.
Looked pretty cool. I think it was mainly an anti-tank craft designed
to fill the void between attack helicopters and full-blown ground
attack aircraft.

Sounds a lot like the Rutan ARES.
