tinyurl.com/yx8j88eo Its #composites ALL the way, with the latest #H2 #fuelcell fad! A #carbonfiber cylinder stores H2 for this H2 powered #drone-as ANY miniscule weight reduction is so critical. The drone also possibly uses composites for the body.

tinyurl.com/y78grjaa As a wood constituent, lignin's "lightness" is obvious. Weight reduction achieved with #glassfiber and #carbonfiber #composites is hence logical. It is a reinforcing filler also contributing to #strength! A double whammy of sorts-strength+ weight reduction
