The Dassault nEUROn is an experimental Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle (UCAV),carrying two 500lbs guided bombs,being developed with international cooperation, led by the French company Dassault Aviation.Sub-contracts have been made with the French industrial firms Thales and EADS France and also with five European firms, Saab (Sweden),EAB (Greece), Alenia (Italy), RUAG Aerospace (Switzerland) and EADS CASA (Spain).
Northrop Grumman X-47B
The Northrop Grumman X-47B is a demonstration unmanned combat air vehicle (UCAV) with folding wings, designed for carrier-based operations. Has two bays for weapon (up to 4,500 lb).
General Atomics Sea Avenger
The General Atomics Sea Avenger is a developmental unmanned combat air vehicle built by General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, with folding wings, designed for carrier-based operations.
Has internal weapons bay with 3,500 pounds capacity and 6 external hardpoints for 6,500 pounds payload.
EADS Barracuda
The EADS Barracuda is an European unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) currently under development by EADS, intended for the role of reconnaissance and also combat (UCAV).The aircraft is a joint venture between Germany and Spain.
Its fuselage is constructed entirely from carbon fibre which is very flexible but also tough and a great choice for today's aircraft construction material.
The only significant metal component is the wing spar, running through the middle and reinforcing the wings.
Northrop Grumman RQ-4A Global Hawk
According to an article in the March 2010 issue of Scientific American, the Global Hawk aircraft belonging to NASA were in use for testing purposes as of October 2009, with science missions expected to start in March 2010. Initial science applications included measurements of the ozone layer and cross-Pacific transport of air pollutants and aerosols.
Northrop Grumman RQ-4B Global Hawk
The Northrop Grumman RQ-4 Global Hawk is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) surveillance aircraft.
It is used as a high-altitude platform for surveillance and security. Missions for the Global Hawk cover the spectrum of intelligence collection capability to support forces in worldwide military operations. According to the United States Air Force, the superior surveillance capabilities of the aircraft allow more precise weapons targeting and better protection of friendly forces.
Northrop Grumman RQ-4C Triton
Triton is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) under development for the United States Navy as a surveillance aircraft.
Developed under the Broad Area Maritime Surveillance (BAMS) program, the system is intended to provide continuous maritime surveillance for the US Navy.
Northrop Grumman RQ-4E Euro Hawk
Version for Germany based on RQ-4B and equipped with an EADS reconnaissance payload for SIGINT.
Germany canceled its order in May 2013,it received one of five Euro Hawks originally ordered.

You get a lot for your money and the planes are fun to fly but there are some annoyances that keep me from giving 5 stars.
One super annoying thing is that the plane keeps warning “don’t sink” all the time including while on approach. I was doing an approach and “don’t sink” wouldn’t shut up even though I was on a controlled final at -500fpm with gear down, which does not warrant any warnings. It’s like the plane doesn’t understand how landing works and won’t stop bugging you!
You have to sink to get down to the ground. Also warnings “flaps” goes off with aircraft that have no flaps.
Why is there a G lock effect when there’s no pilot to black out?
Needs more “cockpit” or control room camera options. One single forward cam alone isn’t enough. I know for a fact that drone pilots have a much better point of view and can make adjustments to their view, but not here. Look straight and only straight!
Other than those irritants I like the variety of drones that can be selected. Each with different speed and handling characteristics. But all with the exact same engine sound.
Got it half off so it’s worth that price.
