Or multiple helicopters flying in formation - also a possibility? Or just a bunch of drones?

Or A Very Large Quadcopter, because they already know a thing or two about making large rotating airfoils with a hub full of neodynium and coils?

My guess would be range is the limiting factor, helicopters struggle keeping themselves in the air for more than a few hours, before taking into account any meaningful payload. Fixed wing aircraft can achieve so much more range.
