How is it able to fly such long distance, without running out of fuel?
Drones for war = one way trip? It won’t be capable to return from a long journey right?
In: Engineering
Some military drones are large enough to carry a lot of fuel and are designed in a way to be very efficient (engines for endurance, typically are light, loiter at high altitudes which give less stress on the airframe). The RQ-4 Globalhawk for example can loiter for more than a day and is about as long as an F-16 but around 4,000 pounds lighter (compared to an F-16’s empty weight).
