The aircraft was originally developed by the U.S. Army for surveillance but the government abandoned the idea due to lack of funding, Hybird Aviation Vehicles (HAV) then took over the project and developed into a commercial aircraft. However the launch is taking a slightly unanticipated turn for HAV as the aircraft is attracting an unwanted celebrity comparison.
