Some amazing engineer built a drone that can lift its own weight using only the electric power that it gets from an on-board solar panel and nothing else (no battery).

Yeah a partially sail powered drone does sound really neat actually. Would definitely help extend the battery life
Very interesting! If the drone can orient and bend itself into a wing/sail, there would be a lot it could do beyond just the motorised fans.
