Click here for image.... its made by Northrup Grumman called LM's MQ-X concept...

Permalink Reply by shane rodney pitt on August 3, 2011 at 1:13am HI Richard thanks for giving feed back, the idea of making an aircraft like this is that it has already had the R/D done on it and from a UAV/ radio hobbyist stand point alot of the hard work is already worked out, Yes the turbine is a problem but not impossible, Based around a glider platform the Global hawk has alot of potential, alot more than already used for.
The MQ-X concept version you mentioned is also a nice airframe will do a mockup on solidworks and see how it performs in numbers will get back to you, but this model is also nice, Problem being is there is not alot of documentation available, IE: 2d drawing to scale from.

I agree, there really isn't to much information on the initial design of this plane... I suspect since it was in concept stage for a while, and it is fairly newer, they might not have released it or had someone mock on up as you suggest...
Anything you can do or come up with would be great... I Need to start somewhere lol I have been on this nitch o make a UAV for a while now and everything i decide on something I end up changing by mind because of the type of plane or the prices lol... Anyway you all keep up the good work... with out you there wouldn't be much to go by on here...
