1. An unmanned aerial surveillance device, comprising:

  • an image capturing device;

    an airframe structure having the image-capturing device operably engaged therewith and configured to be capable of supporting the image-capturing device at an above-ground altitude, said airframe structure including;

    an elongate body portion defining a longitudinal axis;

    a tail portion operably engaged with the body portion along the axis and comprising a rudder control surface and an elevator control surface;

    a pair of transversely-opposed wing portions directly and operably engaged with the body portion and extending substantially transversely thereto, each wing portion being defined by longitudinally-opposed spars extending from a spaced-apart disposition at the body portion to a common connection disposed distally with respect to the body portion, the spars having a fabric extending therebetween so as to provide a wing surface; and

    a support member extending along an aerodynamic center, transversely to the body portion, of each wing portion, the support members being configured to tension and rigidify the wing portions so as to provide a positive camber for each wing portion and to form an airfoil.
