About this converter
Drones run 0.4 to 14.5 m in this table. Wasp micro at 0.4 opens the hand launch end. Raven at 1.1, Puma at 1.4, ScanEagle at 1.7, Shadow at 3.4, Hunter at 7, Predator at 8.2, Valkyrie at 9.1, Reaper at 11, Avenger at 13 and Global Hawk plus Triton at 14.5 each close the long end. Every figure is fuselage length from USAF, Army, Navy or maker specs. Wingspan is far larger at 3 to 40 m and stays out because length is the topic. Hand launch micros sit with high altitude giants to anchor the scale.
How to use it
Pick two drones and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try 1 Global Hawk against 1 Wasp to see the 14.5 to 0.4 gap in meters or feet. Click any table row to load it as Entry A with amount 1.
Values pin fuselage length with pitot excluded. Wasp lists 16 in (0.4 m). Raven lists 43 in (1.1 m). Predator lists 27 ft (8.2 m). Reaper lists 36 ft (11 m). Hawk lists 47 ft 6 in (14.5 m). Triton matches Hawk at 14.5 m from Navy pages. Wingspan stays out because length is the topic.
