Killer Bee FoldingWing STOL Piranha Observation/Attack Plane

The single-seat, folding-wing, short-take-off and landing (STOL) Piranha and two-seat Vampire can act as an observation/attack and liaison (MEDEVAC, resupply) aircraft that is in the "Hip-Pocket" of the maneuver force being towed x-country, non-linearly in a BATTLEBOX by a M113 Gavin. http://www.youtube.com/my_playlists?p=5A4B010DC154A1F8 As an unmanned or manned combat air vehicle (U/MCAV), they can be operated in the field by maneuver forces as lethal STOL "grasshoppers" http://www.geocities.com/usamtaviationdigest/grasshoppersmustreturn.htm Sadler's U/MCAVs can carry in the wing or underwing hard points the M230 30mm autocannon used by AH-64 Apache (can also be mounted on M113 Gavins that transport U/MCAVs on the ground), 2.75" Hydra 70mm rockets, guided and unguided...Hellfire ATGMs....Stinger AAMs....its better armed than a Little Bird helicopter due to its fixed-wing stability... Using a JP-8/diesel burning engine, muffled exhausts, silenced props and sky camouflage, these small Killer Bee aircraft would not be detectible by radar or forward looking infared and be very difficult to spot visually by the "Mark 1 eyeball".
