Shark

"Tube-launched and weighing in at only 2.5kg (5.5lb), the composite Shark is designed to fly quietly at low altitudes for long periods of time, gathering intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance information, the Arizona-based company says.

The Shark measures 0.79m (2.5ft) long, with a 0.97m wingspan with the wings deployed. It can carry payloads weighing up to 0.45kg."

Thats a pretty cool launch method, I want to see it on a video! It must be a Air assisted.

Wasn't there some young fellow not too long ago who had a similar tube launch rpv idea?  Sorry my memory is quite bad. It looked quite different but the basic concept was very similar.  Any web links to the company?  Additional specs?

Was this not the idea a college student had on here a few years back and got a tour of some military base because it was so good. Nice to see the idea pan out and to be honest look so epic.
