I'm not saying flying wings don't glide, I'm questioning towing THIS drone behind a plane without anyone in it and being able to get it up to a height to let it glide without everything turning to ................
If you dropped this from the back of a C17 or a C130, would it glide down to the ground by itself of would it get to the ground in some other way ?
ie Flat Spin, Flutter down from side to side or drop like a stone ?
What I am saying is without having anyone in the actual drone - which is the difference between this Drone and the flying Wings with Pilots you have all pointed me to as examples of flying wings.
The OP who posed the question to me specifically said TOW and Glide
and since the Drone doesn't have a pilot on board, that's what is making me question the whole thing.
Remember, we are talking about how the US got a FAKE Drone into Iran, not a real RB-170 that could be controlled by a Pilot located at Creech AFB.
