I'm aware, I agree that solar aircraft is not an easy technology. I'm mostly pointing out how inane this gasoline drone project is when there are real problems to solve. To put it in perspective, the Helios project was 18 years ago and the Solar Impulse project improved upon the tech significantly.

Edit: just got a chance to look at the report. Thanks for the link, there are some really interesting findings in there.
