The method would charge drones while their airborne, meaning they would never have to land.
A team of researchers from the Northwestern Polytechnical University (NPU) in China has developed a method for using high-energy laser beams to keep drones airborne “forever,” according to a report from The South China Morning Post.
Laser-powered drones could remain aloft “forever”.

Though high-power laser systems are more often associated with anti-drone technologies, Professor Li Xuelong and colleagues from NPU have devised a method that will do the opposite of downing the increasingly ubiquitous small aircraft.
