Default owl with no eyes?

Here is a link to Mississippi State' website.

As stated below, it is registered with the FAA.

The news report suggests that NTSB is not taking much interest. I
imagine Sparrow Hawk owners are more concerned.


My thoughts exactly! Perhaps the NTSB does not realize that the
aircraft
was more than a "one off" test airframe, or perhaps they don't care
because
there is no N number?

N401MS actually. See the FAA prelim data.

Georgia Tech has flown an H2 powered UAV. Next one is planned to fly
the Atlantic.

Thanks, Bob and all, interesting info and links.

I was originally concerned that another aircraft was sharing MY airspace that would not be able to tell the difference between me and a large bird. Can you imagine the remote pilot's screen? "microshaft has detected a fault in the forward motion of your aircraft. send/dont send report?"

Now that I understand it is a military weapon, probably armed to dispatch other aircraft not sqauwking its tune, I feel a WHOLE lot better, thanks!

Knowing also that its developement is overseen by the cretins running the US military -with a well documented history of public aviator abuse, lack of airspace boundary understanding and total lack of accountability has me curling into the foetal position.

Bagmaker, getting bored anyway.

But don't you see, this is to make use safer.........and to ensure our
freedoms!
If we don't send owls with no eyes to all the places in the world that
hate us, how can we ever feel safe in our homes again?
