On inflatable drones for flight time enhancement with particular reference to spectator aerostation

In this note consideration is given to drones - and specially quadcopters, endowed with inflatable and controllable airbags filled with helium which is stored in small and replaceable cartridges. The goal is the a flight time enhancement due to the buoyancy provided by the inflated airbag. It is sho...
