Remember the drone that took off from another drone? It's back and better than ever.
Back in November, drone enthusiasts built a modified quadcopter they call the "Heli-Carrier" that was modeled after the giant aircraft that SHIELD flies in the Marvel movies, and showed that one small drone could take off from another. In this new video, the homebuilt helicarrier stays aloft longer and launches miniature F-35s jets. It's all a drone enthusiast's dreams.
Maybe next time out they can land a helicarrier on a helicarrier.
