Disclaimer: This is not meant to be a study-level aircraft since a lot of its documentation is classified/confidential, however we managed to get its physics as close as possible to the real aircraft performance (limited by the documentation/information we have).

We wish you stunning flights :)

The HVN-4B Global is a high altitude, long endurance (HALE) unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). It is one of the highest endurance and longest range unmanned aircraft systems in operation, with the ability to fly for more than 30 hours and up to altitudes of 60,000 feet above sea level. The base airframe took its maiden flight in February of 1998 and it remains in service.

The HVN-4B performs a variety of roles, including military applications and scientific flights. Military flights are primarily ISR (intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance) data gathering missions. These include the capturing of imagery intelligence, signals intelligence, and measurement and signature intelligence data. To perform these missions, the HVN-4B Global uses sensors that include electro-optical / infrared (EO/IR) systems, synthetic aperture radar, thermal scanners, and others. Scientific missions include the study of the atmosphere, including large hurricanes, above which the HVN-4B can fly. Collected data is transmitted via secure satellite communications link to base stations for processing.

The HVN-4B unmanned aircraft system (UAS) comprises the UAV itself, a command-and-control system, a launch and recovery system, and data links, both satellite-based and line-of-sight. The aircraft can fly autonomously, semi-autonomously, or via remote piloting.

The HVN-4B Global has a distinctive form that comprises a fuselage with a pronounced bulbous nose, a high aspect ratio main wing, a V-tail empennage, and an engine nacelle on the upper portion of the rear fuselage. The HVN-4B measures 47 feet, 7 inches in length, stands 15 feet, 4 inches tall, and has a wingspan of 130 feet, 11 inches. It is powered by a single turbofan engine that generates up to 7,600 pounds of thrust.

The Global has a range of 14,000 miles and an endurance of up to 42 hours. It has a service ceiling of 60,000 feet above sea level, it cruises at 357 miles per hour, and it has a top speed of 391 mph.
