The only good drone is a dead drone...

Woah. I though that drone was a lot smaller than that. |

| I'm partial to the General Atomics Avenger (formerly known as Predator C). Has the basics of strike-class UCAV and is much cheaper than the X-47B. |

It's a flying gas tank. Which is to be expected for 35+ hour missions.
As for my favorite drones, they are the ones you are not reading about. The ones occupying our best talent and able to survey or fight with no adult supervision. |

Well, we know which drone Bill Sweetman likes; just listen to him breathlessly gush over the Neuron here. I suppose editorial attacks on the X-47 and UCLASS program will be forthcoming.

Europe's Neuron unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV) is as much a political marvel as a technological one.

X-45 Flighthawk (my namesake!!!)
Most UCAV's I like, just not the Predator/Reaper/GlobalHawk series, or RQ-170.
Avenger is nice though... |

Drone? D-21 Tagboard.
UAV? BAE Silver Fox.
There is a difference. I don't fly drones. Never have. I fly UAVs. |
