Boeing prepares fuel cell Motorglider
This could well be a system to use in Iraq. Electric motor so no
noise. IR and millimeter Radar systems aboard. Could cruise over town
and watch for IED's beng planted without the bad guys knowing they
were being watched.
Hope this is the end result.

The demonstrator aircraft is a Dimona motor glider, built by Diamond
Aircraft Industries of Austria, which also performed major structural
modifications to the aircraft. With a wing span of 16.3 meters (53.5
feet), the airplane will be able to cruise at approximately 100
kilometers per hour (62 miles per hour) using fuel cell-provided
power.
