Default 1st Autonomous Tow for Electric Airplanes

OMG. I mean what could go wrong with this? The concept is unmanned aircraft with big battery packs will connect (just like with aerial refueling but no pilot) and "tow" the electric aircraft with a pilot and pax thereby extending the range.
I'll link just the video of the first test hookup after I link the article that has the video embedded.
