title_body: Would it be possible to inductively recharge a drone battery?
upvoted_answer: Given how close you would need to be to the charging system, it makes little sense to keep flying rather than simply land on a charger.
  The question then becomes if the inductive power transfer scheme is worth the trouble vs having some sort of electrical contacts, possible with some kind of cam-driven capture in the base.
  On the one hand a wireless power transfer scheme is weatherproof and may require somewhat less positioning precision; on the other, it adds weight to the aircraft, and a lot of complexity.
