Hah well I think we should keep it to sustainable speeds longer than a few seconds, flyable at these speeds within a few seconds of take off, and very visable from the ground flown via conventional RC equipment. The entire package should be financially attainable by any joe shmo (even if he has eat top ramen for a few months to save up the pennys.) That rules out military hypersonic drones, and remote piloted stuff. Also dropping a lead sled with 7% thick wing and with a 90 ounce/square foot wing loading from 1500 feet doesn't count either.
