World's Biggest Drone

Numerous applications exist for this craft; one wonders if it might fill a new niche, either military or commercial.

I do wish company marketing departments would stop using the present tense for something that, at this point in time, does not yet exist.

Sorry chaps, but a CGI "virtual public unveiling" doesn't really cut the mustard.

I bet it's smaller than the B17 drones used in WW2.

Perhaps a nitpick, but I don't think you could consider those B-17s "drones" - they were manned for takeoff, the pilots then bailed out and the aircraft remotely controlled to the target.
If those B-17s are considered drones, then there was a DC-9 that was operated that way for a controlled crash test...
