coming?


Someone claimed that a 182 wouldn't be able to carry all the gear that this
thing does. That would argue for the larger aircraft.


Well, one of the more favored UAVs is the size of the 737...

I think it would be more correct to state that the wingspan is around
that of a 737. Certainly the length and fuselage are not of similar
dimensions. This is from memory.
