US Navy's Ion Tiger drone leans on liquid hydrogen for longer-lasting spy flight
2013-05-13
...I'm conflicted between pride and apprehension...
In the comments:

It's the... ION Tiger /
It's the thrill of the flight /
rising up to the challenge of those gliders /
And the gas powered drones cannot last overnight /
so they're switching the squad over TOOOOOOOOOO.... ION Tigers....

#5  Do you think he knows that H2 is produced via steam reformation of methane (not windmills).
Then energy is used to cool and compress the H2 (mostly coal).
