ST Aero FanTail
The FanTail is a Vertical Take-off and Landing (VTOL) Unmanned Air Vehicle developed by ST Aerospace.
A mock-up of the UAV made its first show appearance at Asian Aerospace 2006 in Singapore (21–25 February), along with the smaller original FanTail 3000 VTOL UAV, which has already flown about 100 hours.

gollark: Observe: I successfully uploaded it to TIOrun.
gollark: This is neat, I was "optimizing" the size of my hello world program by just cutting off the bit at the end which seemed to be mostly zeros and thus worthless (this bit was half the total size) and now it runs fine but objdump refuses to operate on it.
gollark: NAP is literally the perfect language in every way, and you can't improve it, so any other language you make is a mere imperfect copy of it.
