Instead of one drone, buy 10, and send them out in parallel, and charge them all simultaneously.

Horizontal scaling. I love this out of the box thinking.

The FAA does not permit this, by default. You are allowed to remote pilot in command one drone at a time. I could apply for an FAA waiver (I have one to fly beyond VLOS). I've genuinely considered doing so, but I don't know how I could convince the FAA that I could safely monitor multiple drones simultaneously.
