🇮🇳 India's Airbound unveiled their autonomous drone that takes off like a helicopter and flies like a plane, and weighs less than a bag of sugar.
It is built from carbon fibre and covers up to 40 km on a single charge.

Elon Musk explains how Starship will be plucked out of the air by SpaceX's custom-built tower.
“This is a custom-built tower with arms that are designed to catch the largest and heaviest flying object ever made and pluck it out of the air. That's the theory, anyway.
[Engineer:] Elon just said, delete the legs. Delete. We'll just use the arms. And then, he said it again. Wow, he's serious. Okay, we better get on this. And now it seems normal.
[Elon:] It'll weigh about 250 tons. We'll make that lighter over time. So, you got a couple of hundred tons plummeting more than half the speed of sound. So, this thing is still coming in really fast. Pretty much down in a downward direction.
So then, they light the engines so it's got to slow itself down very fast and correct any error.
Whatever the X-Y error is when the engines land, it's got to take out that X-Y error and then drop the velocity to basically zero, come in between the arms.
The arms will be wide, and as it's coming in, the arms will close, go flush against the side of the vehicle, and the vehicle will be descending through the arms.
And those tiny little, you can barely see them, the little knobs, those kind of lifting lugs will touch the top of the arms and then it will hopefully not shear off and crumple.
Success is one of the possible outcomes. The probability is uncertain, but it is above zero.”
