Here's my take at the future of warfare. Up until now I've mostly done replicas but I'm getting bored and trying to branch out.
This drone was mostly made as a study in thrust vectoring but it's also fun to fly. VTOL adjusts nozzle pitch up to 45deg and group 1 will activate fuselage engine vectoring for short take off. Beware, twitchy under 500MPH.
Not the fastest, best flying or well armed but a good thrust vector concept.
