  [15.0] The NASA ERAST HALE UAV Program
The Scaled Composites Model 281 Proteus is, as its name implies, a highly reconfigurable HALE aircraft that can be operated either with a pilot or as a UAV, and is intended for typical HALE applications such as communications relay, military and commercial observation, and upper atmosphere research.
Proteus could also be used as a hurricane chaser, flying into the eye of the storm at high altitude and then loitering in the eye for hours.
Scaled Composite pilots also set a payload-to-altitude record in the Proteus in 2000, wearing pressure suits borrowed from NASA as a precaution against decompression at high altitude.

 Proteus: Burt Rutan's Weirdest Plane Yet - Popular Mechanics
Measuring 56.3 ft., it is the longest plane ever built by Rutan's Scaled Composites of Mojave, Calif. But aviation history could remember Proteus as something more–the plane that opened the door to space.
Today, as we watch the all-composite plane on its third shakedown flight, it is configured with a huge 54.7-ft. canard and a 77.6-ft. wing.
By far the most exotic use for Proteus would be as a space launch platform.
