About the Actual Aircraft
The MQ-1 Predator unmanned attack aircraft was discontinued by the U.S. military in 2018. Among the various drones operated by the U.S. military, the Predator was one of the main aircraft with attack capabilities. It entered service in 1995. It measured 8.2 meters in length and had a wingspan of 14.8 meters. It was powered by a four-cylinder gasoline engine and propelled by a tail-mounted propeller. It was equipped with a nose-mounted camera and laser designator, and was remotely controlled from a ground guidance station. It was capable of carrying missiles such as Hellfire and Stinger.
About the Product
