Montreal, Quebec-based company Icarus Aerospace has unveiled a new military aircraft that it describes as “highly customizable, versatile, capable and reliable." Known as the Tactical Air Vehicle (TAV), and as the Wasp in its fully militarized armed overwatch/persistent presence version, the optionally-piloted design employs a similar twin-boom, high-tail configuration to the Vietnam-era North American OV-10 Bronco.
