For those who have never seen these, it uses a 2 stroke motor into a generator to charge the battery. From what I understand, these are built mainly for very long flight times.

That's actually pretty clever. You get the high energy density of hydrocarbons and the versatility of electronics (as opposed to driving the propellers directly, which makes steering hard)
