Who knows? Too many variables for this engineer.

Honestly, though, there gets to be a point where it makes more sense to just take a Predator (or similar large prop UAV) and give it a fusion plant. You're not weather dependent, and the power available translates into a larger payload for sensors and/or weapons.
