Does it scale down? Could I use RC-scale technology, build my own, and use it to provide services to my own local network?
Sure, we all have the eye on the industrial horizon here.
But what would a "the streets have their own uses for things" application of the TURN concept look like?
For instance, I build RC planes for fun, and am a huge fan of Kline-Fogleman airfoils, for their simplicity if not economy .. and I can imagine a low-cost TURN implementation based on KF airfoils which might be more viable at the LoRa/WAN levels of scale. Something easily deployable, cheap/disposable/replaceable, on a much smaller scale of industry - yet widely available.

(It mentions a unit with a five pound payload flying for around four hours, comparing it to a conventional platform with a similar on-board battery which was able to remain aloft for around an hour.)
