Here's an interesting article on the new Textron Scorpion, which I didn't know existed until I read the article:
How ISIS, Boko Haram could change the way countries purchase air power - Fortune
Of course, Forbes is a financial journal, not aeronautical, so the coverage is going to be about the money part.
According to its Wikipedia article, the Scorpion has a composite airframe, and uses a lot of off-the-shelf airframe parts from Cessna bizjets.
It will be interesting to see if this venture pans out, or if its market space isn't already owned by UAVs.
