Marines Aided by Robotic Airplane in Iraq
| quote: |
A robotic airplane called ScanEagle has done more than 1,000 hours of intelligence and reconnaissance work for the Marines in Iraq, its developers said.
[...]
The 4-foot-long aircraft has a 10-foot wingspan and can fly up to 15 hours at a time on less than two gallons of fuel, Boeing officials said. |
I'd seen/heard of these miniature reconaisassance drones before. Pretty nifty and they keep humans out of harm's way.
Smile; It confuses people.  |
