The single model was developed as a technology demonstrator-and was extremely successful in merging the latest advances in aerodynamics, propulsion, composite materials, and remote controls. The Condor set several records for piston-powered aircraft during its 141-hour flight test program in 1988 and 1989. It stayed aloft for nearly two and one-half days during one test flight and reached a top altitude of 67,028 feet. The flights proved a Condor-like vehicle could be used for both military and commercial purposes. Possible military applications include reconnaissance, surveillance, and communication relay. Potential civilian uses include weather monitoring and atmospheric research.BI46843 (BIV16_Condor_01)Maximum size:720px × 480px (~13 MB)License type:Rights ManagedDuration:37sKeywords:1980s-adults-air to air-airplanes-Condor Unmanned Aerial Vehicle-day-deserts-Edwards Air Force Base-exteriors-flying-full body views-ground crews-ground shots-haze-high-tech / advanced-historic production status-landing-male-monoplanes-one of a kind aircraft-other livery-propeller planes-research/experimental-takeoffs-technology demonstrators-unmanned vehicles-unpaved ground-viewed from aboveRelated Photo/Videos:View AllRelated Virtual folders:Boeing CondorAH-64D Apache Longbow
