The Boeing Condor was a high tech test bed reconnaissance drone aircraft. It had a wingspan of over 200 feet, longer than that of a Boeing B-52. Powered by two 175 hp, six cylinder opposed, twin super-charged liquid cooled Continental TSOL-300-2 engines it had a top speed of 230 mph.
Carbon fiber composite materials made up the bulk of the Condor's fuselage and wings. Although the Condor had a very low radar and heat signature, it was not a very stealthy aircraft, to the point that Boeing itself has referred to its "lack of stealth." This characteristic, coupled with its large size and slow speed, made it too vulnerable for use in military operations.
