I am the Program manager for all Navy and Marine Corps UAVs...we have some that fly for 20 HOURS on a little more than a gallon and a half of gas!

Amazing stuff...from battery power man launched to 65 thousand feet monsters. Multiple payloads, etc.

Welcome to the revolution...you left the bong under the passengers seat, BTW.
