Unpowered drone - Can you make it?

The drone must be unpowered.   If it is using no power,  then it can fly a long time.   For how long does it need?  A year or two is perfect.

And it will not be totally unpowered.  Only that its movement is not powered.   You can add a little solar power for its communication.   Solar power might not be ideal.   Perhaps you can create some power source from the cold temperature or  electric charges in the air.

It could be in the shape of a flying spinning top,  but got wings like a butterfly.  

The four wings of the  butterfly would be designed as a  help for the spinning top to modify its balance, and help the spinning butterfly flying a longer time while remain connected.

Being connected means it can be controlled like an ordinary drone.

And you can create patches of butterflies.   They are self connected to each other within the same patch.  To manipulate a patch is much more easier than a single.

What's the use of it?

If you fly huge numbers of   spinning top butterflies on air,   and they could stay up  for one year or more, then what will happen?

It means the satellite networks will be totally useless.........

It will be the next round of space  competition.

And it has already been started.
