Place holder for my Denel Dynamics Albatross
It is a jet power hunter-killer UAV designed for long-endurance and high-altitude surveillance.

Is there any relation to the Grumman Albatross https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grumman_HU-16_Albatross ?
Or just very long wings, similar also to the bird with this name?

Ooooooh wow, that looks perfect! Inspired!
Also as soon as I see Denel or Atlas in a title I get excited as the South Africans come up with some very cool hardware. This will fit right in.

Sleek and elegant!
It reminds me a little bit of the U2.
