Check this out!!!!!!!!!!!
Lockheed Martin is now testing Cormorant, a stealthy autonomous spy jet that starts and ends its mission 150 feet under water. Launched from Ohio-class submarines, the four-ton aircraft is designed with folding wings that allow it to fit inside a Trident missile tube, which is about 48 feet long but just 7 feet wide.

My best mate from highschool is now working on UAVs and respective projects! Some very intresting stuff coming out of our interlects, and you would be surprised how much they use RC sites and products but on a larger industrial scale!
