The fighter craft will ascend after release, and level out around 33000ft/10000m on full throttle.
A prototype DR-2 'Switchblade' drone mounted on a modified Voyager heavy fighter. The drone (when folded) is no more bulkier than a Cleaver, with similar dimensions and half the weight. And thus the Switchblade can be installed on any craft capable of carrying the cruise missiles.
