You and Glen below are right except his time line. I am no expert but we watch all innovations in power generation very closely. Heat is the issue and that is being addressed, especially in the power realm.

Also, and I know you do, hybrid approaches, especially for UAS, are being flown every day.

There are huge amounts of dollars in the power generation realm...endurance in UAS/robots is tantamount and is what makes them different. Endurance is the game changer.
