The X1 aircraft is comparable in size to a small regional airliner and can achieve a maximum takeoff weight exceeding 25,000 pounds with the help of four wing-mounted electric motors. The battery-electric propulsion system delivered more than one megawatt of power during the maiden flight.
If it works you can have a range extender medium size drone at the start and finish for mid air refueling by cable.

@rimu@piefed.social @HerbGrower@slrpnk.net maybe, but that is complex logistics.
Yeah, that sounds incredibly complex compared to just landing and switching plane or recharging.
