This might not be news to some, but for those that it is... Amazing. Imagine a super light material that could be both frame AND battery. Imagine hours of electric flight time with a quad. Or even one hour.

Comment by Dave Wicks on July 26, 2012 at 9:27am There have been several announcements similar to this lately and it is always encouraging.
Perhaps the material could serve as a conductor and structural support?
That would elminate the need for power cabling if it can handle sufficient current and maintain structural shape.
I will go out on a limb and say 5 years will pass before we see any products from this - if any at all.
