0 Solar drone......Is this possible yet? Posted by Rodolfo magnus on December 5, 2015 at 11:02pm Hello all:I stumbled upon this:Solar UAVAnd even found a patent:Solar turbine Airship PatentOf this Hybrid Drone, but my guess is that technology is not yet capable of 4 to 5 day endurance without fossil fuel.

To my knowledge, did some rough calcs in my head- unfortunately not. Weight to Watthours of fuelcells is much worse than batteries.
Solar panel needs big area, what I cant see on this model.
It´s a dream today, perhaps in 50 years??
