  Homer: There’s the right way, the wrong way, and the Max Power way.

  Bart: Isn’t the Max Power way the wrong way?

  Homer: Yes, but faster.

  Aren’t hypersonic missiles just hypersonic suicide drones? Like the entire point of drone’s is that they are cheap, this has no purpose.

      So take the boom boom out and put on a much lighter camera.

  At what point does it stop being a drone and become an unmanned aircraft?

      You’re right, but it seems like a poor word for it, not specific enough. Might as well just call it a machine. Drone should be reserved for small and cheapish uavs. Above that they would just be uav and then things like this would be unmanned aircaft.
