Say, having enough microwave energy to power a drone might mean that they could also test a hybrid resonant cavity so both things could be going on. I suppose that it would be possible to design an EM-type drive, especially if one can be made of superconductor, where some of the RF energy bouncing around in the cavity is allowed to bleed out in a single vector, and thereby act as a photon rocket engine in addition to whatever else is going on.
