Based on computer modelling, the craft QinetiQ has developed thus far could complete a day-night cycle.

Computer modelling of the impact suggests that the plume will reach a maximum altitude of 500km about 17 minutes after the impact.
Nonetheless, computer modelling suggests a warming of the climate around Antarctica could result in the loss of more northern ice floes later this century.
Computer modelling suggests that as ageing stars throw off their outer layers and lose mass to become a dwarf, they destabilise the environment around them.
She says the report gives detailed information - some of it new - suggesting that Iran conducted computer modelling of a kind that would only be relevant to a nuclear weapon.

But computer modelling revealed that most of the asteroids ejected by Jupiter and Saturn quickly dive into the sun, and thus cannot account for the large number of known Earth-crossers.
One way of doing that is by computer modelling.
ECONOMIST: New ways of tracking these killer waves may help save lives
Accurate computer modelling of prescribed burns in various weather conditions would take much of the guesswork out of how to set them, and might give officials more confidence to fight fire with fire.
ECONOMIST: Computer models may soon help to predict forest fires
They found computer modelling of the climate suspicious enough in itself, and Mr Schneider's insistence that it should lead to interdisciplinary interactions with biologists interested in ecosystems and even social scientists interested in human responses made things worse.
Ministers said that computer modelling shows that offering the checks to those aged 40 to 74 - approximately a third of the population - will save 2, 000 lives a year and prevent 9, 500 heart attacks and strokes.
The discrepancy between computer modelling and reality is most likely due to the fact that simulations have failed to fully take into account the impact of increased levels of carbon dioxide emissions in the atmosphere, the researchers believe.
In a bid to placate Airbus, the British government this week announced it would finance research into new computer-modelling techniques at several British universities, to help Airbus speed up product development by as much as 90%.
ECONOMIST: The turbulent aircraft-maker tries to slow its descent
Dr Bilham and Vinod Gaur, from the Centre for Mathematical Modelling and Computer Simulation in Bangalore, writing late last year in Current Science, said that until recently Indian seismological research has neglected a technique known as geodesy, which measures the strains accumulating in, and distorting the surfaces of, plates.
Indeed, some computer languages, such as the Unified Modelling Language ( see article), have been developed specifically to help programmers do their jobs.
Richardson was ultimately vindicated with the advent of the electronic computer, which speeded up calculations and made numerical modelling of the atmosphere possible.
They also look very similar to the simulations coming out of Piomas (Pan-Arctic Ice-Ocean Modelling and Assimilation System), an influential computer model that has been used to estimate Arctic sea-ice volume and which has been the basis for several predictions about when summer sea ice might disappear completely.
And to rule out computer bugs, independent groups verified the calculations using several different versions of the modelling software.
The sheer volume of data involved in modelling the brain will itself lead to "radically new" IT with new computer technologies designed to manage the flow.
