Have electromagnetic exterior contacts where aerial refueling can be accomplished the electricity can be supplied by arieal planes that produce energy chemically. The planes that refuel could be manned or even drones.
Great for aerial pix of land developments you have the most expensive part licked fuel now add some cameras and get a way to swap the batteries so you can land to retrieve new ones and poof in the air again. Cops could use this to patrol traffic cams over city they fly an hour land swap batt and off again have the batt @ multi locations so wherever you land you can go again another hour. Hop across the nation on the network. Charge with wind/solar zero carbon.
Ultrocapacitor and Lithium Polymer technologies both show exciting potential to make electric vehicles viable, and I think range and horsepower will continue to increase while charging times decrease.
Thin-film solar technology and “electric generating window”(See MIT’s recent development) technology would probably make solar power powerful and light enough to possibly noticeably extend flight time without much weight penalty. But normal “solar cells” would probably hurt more than they help due to their weight and the typical “solar exposure area” of an aircraft.

Hey randy get your hands OFF the mike! Are you new?
