This UAV is capable of 60 mph flight for 30 minutes
from the information I read.

BTW, how far is 60mph for 30 minutes? 30 miles. That's a lot farther than
the 10km/6.2mi range I've seen listed for the Raven - including the links
you provided. Did you read those?

Apparently the Raven UAV is capable of 60 mph flight, but only for
about 10 minutes. Please forgive my error. It just wasn't intuitive
for me to expect a $30,000.00 piece of hardware to have such a limited
out-and-back range. Oh well...
