Drone cores that are both light and floaty, the Mk1 Drone Cores have been assembled from a camera, a small remote transceiver, a casing, a passive thermoregulator array (aerodynamically certified heat sink,) a powerful (but tiny) computer chip, and human-sized ultra-light power reception coils that convert ambient radio signals into minute amounts of power. Frankly, you can’t turn on engines with this thing; it’s a safety hazard to rev up a turbofan with an experimental AI. I mean, 210 lbs is tiny compared to 551 lbs! Requires rechargeable lithium ion battery from your lawn motor. Not included in package, but included in net weight measurements. The two drone cores are slightly different in mass and drag profile.

Just kidding; It can’t actually fully substitute the primary cockpit. This cheap hunk of re-worked sewer pipe probably isn’t doing anything.

You can use it in your remote VTOL creations, akin to the messenger bird, to look super darn cool. If you want examples, have fun:
