Roland Piquepaille writes, “According to a short report by
AFP,
Israel is developing a killer robot
plane. This drone is designed for long-range operations — more than
50 hours and several thousand miles — while weighing 4 tons during
takeoff. This Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle (UCAV), dubbed Eitan
(Steadfast) will have a wing span of 35 meters — like a Boeing 737.
This [High Altitude] Long-Endurance (HALE) drone is the largest unmanned
aircraft designed by Israel. It should be tested in coming days, but
details are scarce, and it might already have flown in 2006.” For
more details on this new robot aircraft see Roland’s blog.
