Lots and lots of Cubicles...

But, cubicles would be a lot cheaper than tankers and fighters and bombers with multi-million dollar trained pilots.

I really don’t think any major unmanned effort would be in a few years. I don’t see why the drones won’t be able to refuel on their own.

But still, drones would not need as much fuel as a piloted plane and we might be building and purchasing much more tankers than would be needed in future operations.

I think one of the great benefits of drones is that they can hang around or loiter and thus would need fuel. The more the merrier... Just wake the guy in the Cube next to yours and let him fly for a while :)
