Pattern - I should have specified `winged' vehicles - but good point!
After asking - I did find this:
Size Effects on Aircraft Performance
and this:
Theoretical limits to wing and aircraft size?
I was just wondering if there was a point at which compressibility issues or control surface/actuator strength might be a problem.
I imagine rate of roll, yaw, pitch would be an issue for something that large as well.
