How would your drone react to an unexpected bad weather (the 20% winds you want to avoid)? I guess you can’t just land anywhere ?

If you dump hydrogen, you land.

But where ? On the power pole ? Within neighbor property ? For what I know you’re the first one to plan long distance drones (beside military), am I wrong ?

Yes, you're wrong. UAVs have crossed the Atlantic:

Interesting, thanks for sharing! Though I’ll be less worried about a drone flying above the ocean than above properties and infrastructures. You’re gonna need a bunch of lawyers and public relations, but I guess the kind of industry you’ll work for can help on that.

We have strong termination flight procedures and redundancy at this level!
