most efficient MP speed for conserving battery?

If one were to build a drone strictly for distance with no other considerations, would the body would be at an angle of c. -45° when hovering, and level at the most efficient speed? I would guess this to be the case. It would be an odd looking beast..

And it would be more wing-shaped, to maximize lift during forward motion.

If you then extended the arms and made a wider wing shaped body would you could really go for distance, as long as you never got positive lift from the drone body , which I'm sure would cause an epic accident, as the motors would stop to try and maintain altitude.

Not a problem - simply decrease angle of attack.
