Our mod posted Turkey's vision. Thank you
Perfect 2035 they will be possibly operational, but there is even not a design available or published
That is not so difficult, but could boost interest and enthusiasm of investors.
Now whats already or will be soon available and a scientific design PDF,
ONERA serious Project
HALE UAV PLATFORM OPTIMISED FOR A SPECIALIZED 20-KM ALTITUDE PATROL MISSION

ISIS
To generate power for the systems on board, the outer skin of the airship will be coated with solar cells, absorbing the sun light as well as light reflected from the earth surface, thus minimizing power drainage at night. The airship program is currently funded by DARPA and could be matured for deployment toward the end of the next decade (around 2018).
Global Hawk may be dominating the high altitudes today, but in the near future, it will have to share those heights with more unmanned platforms. One such system is the
Integrated Sensor Is Structure (ISIS) developed by Lockheed Martin Aeronautics. ISIS will provide a new model for persistent, autonomous ISR platform. Utilizing a stationary stratospheric airship, ISIS will establish a position on the 'high ground' at an
altitude of 70,000 ft. This airship will be deployed for long missions, staying in position for one, five or even ten years. It will provide a persistent early warning sensor able to detect cruise missiles at distances of 600 kilometers or dismounted enemy combatants at a range of 300 km.

FALCON
Flying at the edge of space in the high stratosphere, a future unmanned aircraft could one day carry weapons or other payloads anywhere in the world within few hours, or deploy cargo to lower space orbit, responding within minutes to urgent mission requirements. These high flyers will be designed to carry our fast strikes deep into enemy territory, anywhere in the world. Such a project known as
FALCON is pursued by DARPA and the US Air Force. Lockheed Marin, the system's developer is planning to fly the first
FALCON demonstrator by the end of 2018, and is preparing to have such platform operational in about 10 years.
A similar platform expected to be demonstrated around that time is the X-51 WaveRider, developed by Boeing. This vehicle will demonstrate capabilities similar to the FALCON, as Boeing aims to compete with Lockheed Martin to fulfill the future USAF requirement for global strike with the hypersonic atmospheric vehicles. T
he waveRider will integrate a scramjet engine developed by Pratt & Whitney, a boost rocket motor derived from an ATACMS missile matched with an airframe built by Boeing. It will demonstrate acceleration from boost (Mach 4.5+) to Mach 6 -7 cruise.
you will have customers lining up for this one
Would be a quantum leap 3.5 ton takeoff and 1 ton payload.
(Or a type fault like some journalists claimed PKK has UAVswith 1 ton payload.)
