<p>I have an idea. If you attach some drones to a solar panel ( the big ones ) and use it to power the drones, can it fly forever? (Without weather) (With (not charged) extra batteries connected to the solar panel as input, drones as output)</p>

The question is a little bit unclear at the moment. By "drone" are you talking about quadcopters, or just an unmanned aierial vehicle like a small fixed-wing aircraft?

Yes (sort of), but probably not the way you think.

The [Airbus](https://www.airbus.com/en/products-services/defence/uas/zephyr) [Zephyr](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbus_Zephyr), flies on solar, unmanned. Current record is 64 days and several thousand miles.
