What about Li-air? Is there enough oxygen at altitude? Could be the reason for the fire (if you don't believe the conspiracy theory they set it on fire once it crashed).

Interesting recent timeline...

Im sure DARPA, SkunkWorks, etc., are ahead of these guys.

BTW, I think I talk too much about my proposed projects in the home. My father-in-law got me a silly gyroscopic R/C copter for xmas. I know my wife was involved and this is an attempt to placate me so I don't use all of my free time builing my MAV. Only problem is payload is only a few grams (one of the first things I tested).
