I searched and couldn't find a price so you know it ain't cheap .

Leads me to believe there may be some type recharging system on board. Or possibly a beefed up battery system such as may be used in pacemakers. I have a battery system implanted, not a pacemaker, but same type of battery. It gets charged a month using same charging principle as some newer cell phones, proximity charge.

Certainly does away with VLOS.

Gasoline engine charging battery- the components after that will be substantially similar to any other multi rotor with straight electric propulsion.

Very easy to appreciate the flight times realised. Gasoline has roughly 100 times the energy content of an equivalent weight of LiION battery.
