The Aquila air vehicle was a tail‐less flying wing with a rear‐mounted 26‐horsepower, two‐cycle piston engine, and a pusher propeller. Figure 1.3 shows the Aquila air vehicle. The fuselage was about 2 m long and the wingspan was 3.9 m. The airframe was constructed of kevlar‐epoxy material but metalized to prevent radar waves from penetrating the skin and reflecting off the square electronic boxes inside. The gross takeoff weight was about 265 lb and it could fly between 90 and 180 km/h up to about 12,000 ft.
