The closest thing to those parameters is the SR-71 which had 2 high powered cameras on it and needed constant refueling to stay aloft and was quite pricy per flight hour.... | |
| May 7, 2018 at 20:47 | comment | added | user9742946 | I guess I should be specific I want to operate it autonomously with ADS-B avoidance and above 72,000 ft. Thanks for the tip on Russia and I also want to have the craft airborne for 3-6 months at a time at least and outfit it with SDR, RF transceiver and high powered telescope. I don't know if this can be accommodated here so I may he looking for other countries to operate in or experiment over international waters above 400ft agl. I'm more looking for a way to sell survaillence via an API, and become an ISP for sea vessels. Would be nice to service land as well but maybe hard legally. | |

| May 6, 2018 at 18:58 | comment | added | Dave | @PeterKämpf according to this it looks like Government UAS's can apply for a waiver to fly with a chase plane that must remain in visual contact with the UAS. | |
| May 6, 2018 at 18:55 | comment | added | Dave | @PeterKämpf It seems you can fly them 400 feet off a structure but I dont know of anything that reaches up to 400ft from FL600. I would think you can fly them off a chase plane with approval from the FAA as they can generally offer special approval for most things if you ask. | |
| May 6, 2018 at 18:47 | comment | added | Peter Kämpf | Can unmanned aircraft be flown higher than 400 ft when accompanied by a chase plane? Not that there are many options for a chase at FL 600, but 400 ft is very restrictive. | |
