Aerosonde
25hour flight across Atlantic on 1litre of petrol. Large inverted V-tail design which gives it stability in high cross winds, where other planes won't work. InfraRedLeds are built into the air frame for long range night vision. One of the big advantages I have heard in favor of inverted V tail designs is its stability in cross wind situations. For an example when hit by a cross wind gust on landing the inverted V will cause the airplane to pitch up as opposed to diving into the ground. It shouldn't make any difference when used with an autopilot but many military UAVs are remotely piloted during landing. http://www.mini-imp.com/tail.htm

Baiojet
Uses ramp to launch with pully system, lands on the grass. Can be jet-engine or ducted electric fan powered. Or hoist into the air at 1km using an weather balloon. This video http://bit.ly/bCODbC shows a jet-engine fitted to the carbon body, originally designed for ducted fan only.
