The size of the aircraft has the advantage of being able to lift large packages and maintain position. Some of our RPV would fly in the range of altitudes above 50,000 and had over 24hr capabilites in the late 60's and 70's and were able to carry enough to cover large areas as well. To maintin the altitude we used large wings and big engines to get them up and to stay up. most of the wieght was in fuel to get to altitude. the wing surface although, large was not enough to keep it up against Gravity, throttling back you could glide and maintain altitude for awhile, but if you lost power, you came home. The Motor on Sanwire look big enough to help it maintain such a position.
