English: Original illustration by me using 3d applications and basic photogrammetry techniques from the only three, low-resolution photographs publicly available at time of completion. Created to illustrate the Wikipedia RQ-170 Sentinel article. Human-scale was determined from "Aviation Week" blog article reporting that the wingspan is estimated to be 65-feet. (This is similar to a related UAV precursor; the X-47B which had a wingspan of 62 ft, 1 in.) Applications used: 3d Studio MAX; Bryce 3D; Corel PhotoPaint; IrfanView. This is an image link to show how my model lines up with a lesser known photo of the RQ-170.
