All his data are real data! Wingspan! Length of the fuselage! Height! Empty weight! It's all feet in meter!?VTOl can pick up the tires?The global hawk drone is a high-flying reconnaissance drone developed by northrop grumman. "Global hawk" good looks, looks like a killer whale, its huge body, wings straight, the wingspan of a Boeing 737, bulbous nose will be 1.2 meters in diameter of radar antenna to hide up.
