Usually, when one thinks of an airplane, a huge tubular structure with wings and a tail attached comes to mind.

The drone, called the Phantom has a range of 10,000 kilometres and can fly at an altitude of six kilometres at sustained speed. The Phantom has an empty weight of 600 kilograms and can carry a total payload of 500 kilograms. The robot, developed by Hungarian company Uaviator Drones Kft., is a very large flying machine with a 14-metre wingspan. This, in turn, provides exceptional stability in flight and allows it to be deployed in difficult weather conditions.
