Kiwi rotary UAV powered by diesel
 
Info here

"THE SNARK MILITARY "UCAV" UAV HELICOPTER
The Snark took its name from "The Hunting of the Snark", by Lewis Carroll. After reading the poem you could form the conclusion you don't know what a "Snark" really is, but it sounds Fierce and Nasty, exactly the description of the "SNARK" UAV by TGR Helicorp Ltd.
The Snark out performs all existing UAV helicopters (and most aircraft) in every respect. Amongst the many very Hi-Tech advances, the "Snark" is the "WORLDS FIRST DIESEL POWERED HELICOPTER and UCAV UAV"."

The same company is behind a planned SAR variant for Mt Everest - link

Diesel & aircraft fuel are not that different. That is why we have diesel vehicles and, with little effort, you can run them on AVTUR - single fuel concept for ops. Can't see that being too big a jump with todays technology.

Surely the Snark was a 1950's model cruise missile used by the US Navy.
