(For those out there who knew this already, bare with us less informed)
How can one easily tell if you are looking at a Predator drone, or a Global Hawk?
Hollywood holds the answer. The Global Hawk has the head(or nose aeronautically-speaking) of Alien, the Predator drone has the head of, well Predator of course.
I figure the engineers or designers at Northrop Grumman were having a little fun searching for inspiration for nose aerodynamics and noticed the Predator was like its movie counterpart, and chose to complete the analogy with a Global Hawk design that resembles Alien. It's as good a guess as any. But why didn't they call it the Global Alien?
Update 6/11/2012: After watching the video by Alex Jones on the new Ridley Scott film, Prometheus, I realize now this is probably not coincidental at all.
