I do know that endurance without refuelling will be significantly greater than wedgetail - and the design work for a probe was completed for Sentinel!


I don’t think you can quote the basic aircraft figures for a Global 6000 and apply them to GlobalEye, once you add all the military payload, it won’t operate at the height listed and it certainly won’t have the endurance.
