The stability and maneuverability of these things requires that they be
controllable rapidly, which can be done with an electric motor. It would
be interesting to see an analysis of putting a motor/generator on the
thing, with some batteries for load balancing (is that the right term?),
sorta like a diesel locomotive (but it doesn't have batteries), and see
what the size and duration tradeoffs would be like. They are unlike an
airplane in that the lift is only from the rotors not the wings, so they
take more power than that little airplane.
