Here is is

I see that same thing among the hobbyists, and thy have a version of that turbo in the price range of 2-5 grand. Use hard foam on the body, just keep the speed below 200 MPH .


This photo looks a lot like the RC plane fair. This will be the first drone war, and the USA will have to figure stuff out in real time. That wing in the foreground, I have one functionally exact, built it with two dollars in dollar tree foam, and a bit of glue.

That tubule fuselage? I make those too, simple with rolled Dollar Tree foam. Always remove the backing paper with Dollar Tree foam, use lots of water and it peels off. I count ten, I have seven in my office right here. None of them powered yet, just ollar Tree foam gliders fo testing wing shapes.

I need ten gallons of fuel to cross the Atlantic, 8 oz/hour, 100 hours. 80 pounds of fuel. I can make a fuselage that holds 80 pounds of fuel, don't need no nuke.

Ships and bases need a defense. We end up with drone shooters, repeatable, fling buckshot machines.  Huge drone battles even before he war has begun. This war has no outcome known to man. I seems as endless.

THE US Navy wants to build a fleet of ten robot warships over the next five years.
The huge ships referred to as Large Unmanned Surface Vehicle (LUSV) would function as scouts for the main battle fleet, carrying radar and sonar as well as anti-air and cruise missiles.

It is not ending. The drones are having a mini-singularity.
I saw a fun video challenge, the hobby group built a foam canoe, large enough to float one person, then removed the person, added wings and flew the canoe.   You have a problem. You 200 million dollar robot will be sunk by a 2,000 dollar suicide sub. You are back to the same problem, the drone wars start, never get resolved as no humans die. We end up with a national foam shortage!
