Regarding drones being defined as multicopters didn't you just say in this thread that the FAA has now defined your RC planes as a drone as well? Apparently their definition is more inclusive than yours.
So you don't have anything to say, just a nebulous and indistinct faith that the laws of physics are subject to technological advancement. And I've been clear on the definitions of the word "drone."

How about let's get specific. Tell me how we're going to get smaller, quieter, faster and get more duration at the same time. Tell me how to get more speed and less noise from a smaller diameter propeller.

Time for you to be as specific as I have been. Hint: next I talk about Reynolds Numbers.
