Drone always makes me think small. The Global Hawk is not small. It has a wider wingspan than a 737.

I feel like we need a new word. Either for the military drones or the toy ones.

The correct term is UAV, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle.

That sounds good! But what do we call the large military/commercial ones?

This is the largest military one…

How about we refer to military drones specifically by their function?

  • Surveillance drones
  • Death drones
