The RQ-4 Global Hawk is one of the first aircraft specifically designed without the need for a human pilot that has entered general production. A groundbreaking unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) the Global Hawk is a jet powered surveillance craft that can operate entirely on its own or be flown by remote. It is the first unmanned craft that is legally allowed by the FAA to register its own flight plans and operate in civilian airspace. Global Hawks are being used operationally in military squadrons and although they have had some accidents and maintenance issues their ability to stay on station much longer than manned aircraft is valued by commanders.Recreated here with painstaking detail this model aircraft is a must have for any aviation enthusiast.

The Northrop Grumman (formerly Ryan Aeronautical) RQ-4 Global Hawk (known as Tier II+ during development) is a Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) used by the United States Air Force and Navy as a surveillance aircraft. This type of airplane now falls under the larger heading of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, or UAVs. "R" is the Department of Defense designation for reconnaissance; "Q" means unmanned aircraft system. The "4" refers to it being the fourth of a series of purpose-built unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). In role and operational design, the Global Hawk is similar to the Lockheed U-2, the venerable 1950s spy plane. It is a theater commander's asset to provide a broad overview and systematic target surveillance. For this purpose, the Global Hawk is able to provide high resolution Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR)-that can penetrate cloud-cover and sandstorms- and Electro-Optical/Infrared (EO/IR) imagery at long range with long loiter times over target areas. It can survey as much as 40, 000 square miles (100, 000 square kilometers) of terrain a day. The big difference from the U-2 is, that the commander and others on his operational net now have a real-time connection to view the data as they are gathered. There is no waiting for the plane to come back and the material gathered analyzed. Missions for the Global Hawk cover the spectrum of intelligence collection capability to support forces in worldwide peace, crisis, and wartime operations. According to the Air Force, the capabilities of the aircraft allow more precise targeting of weapons and better protection of forces through superior surveillance capabilities.

Global Hawk ATCD prototypes have been used in the War in Afghanistan and the Iraq War. On April 24 2001 a Global Hawk flew nonstop from Edwards Air Force Base in the US to RAAF Base Edinburgh in Australia making history by being the first pilotless aircraft to cross the Pacific Ocean. The flight took 22 hours. In role and operational design the Global Hawk is similar to
