The current prototype is R/C controlled at this stage for platform development and handling qualities and performance assessment.
Structural optimisation and advances in battery / fuel cell technology should result in dramatic increases in payload and performance over the next 5-10 years.
Production aircraft may be scaled within reason to meet certain mission requirements.
