New process uses multicopters to catch fixed-wing drones at sea

Because fixed-wing drones are faster and more energy-efficient than multicopters, they're often used for tasks such as mapping areas of the ocean. Many of them do require landing strips, however, which there isn't always room for on ship decks. A clever new technique gets around that problem, using copters to catch them.
