Where do they get the electricity? I'd guess it's from something that burns fuel, but I could be wrong there.



Static charge from the wings.

I thought they were building in some iron bars in the wings and then as they flew through the magnetic flux lines in the
earth they would generate the charge, storing the excess in batteries so they have some juice onboard until they get up
to speed. Of course using this method the east/west routes will be most desirable...
