Yes, its no longer a concept on a drawing board. Its working. But it gets to the point where great ideas needs to get buying customers. They've made one under contract for the US Military for surveillance, Electronics Warfare and UAV control platform. Something went wrong. They mothballed it and the UK guys just got it back.
