This piece is rather vague. I get the distinct impression that the writer's 
native language isn't English.  So when he says "electric propellers" does 
he really mean that the drone's fuel is electricity?  I looked at several 
other web articles on this.  Oddly, none of them even mentions how the drone 
is fueled.

I'm no expert, but I would think that a craft like that would have pretty 
limited range and/or payload if it had to carry all its energy in a battery. 
I wonder if it might be something more like this.
