Let’s be frank: in US Air Force language an UAV is in actual fact an UCAV, i.e. an Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle.

Proliferation of these UCAV is just another planetary threat closing in on us, with the only alternative left for the civil society to take possession of the global airspace with myriads of personal aircraft.

Not making war in the first place is a far more efficient way to save resources, time and money.

UAVs can refuel, but it is not generally useful, except for the very large ones. This would be useful for the very small UAVs, and allow new ones that are even smaller.

Yet another attempt of US Air Force to gain monopoly of global air space.

Lets hope that such technologies will someday be used to save fuel in civil aviation also.
