Prototypes

Hey how about alternative energies....

I have heard of laser powered aircraft.... or maybe microwave powered aircraft.....
 
Last I heard/thought, laser and microwave were not sources of energy, such as oil is, but more a transfer of energy from one place to another. Microwave could be linked, though to some form of decaying radioactive source on the plane, but I don't see how laser would work
 
Isn't one problem with laser weaponry that it's line of sight? That's fine for a James-Bond-style orbiting platform (well, it is in the movies), but not so good for things flying closer to their targets. Wouldn't it be better to use something guided, like a cruise missile (as suggested by Delvo).
