"Air Force UAVs: The Secret History" is a very, very condensed version of Ehrhard's thesis "Ehrhard Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in the United States Armed Services". From the thesis: Kier mentioned that several other concepts for manned alternatives to AARS popped up in the early 1990s, including a minimalist design called the TR-3 that he derisively called “a Cessna 172 compared to a 747 [AARS].” The comparison was not in size, but in complexity.
