Now bar-headed geese, I saw on a tv show naturally fly over Mt. Everest. They have a blood flow that is evolutionary adapted to that flight while other birds cannot fly that high. And Mt. Everest is shy of 11km. But I am betting that a well designedhelicopter drone running on lithium batteries can easily scale that height and more.

The altitude record for any rotorcraft is 12,524 M.
The altitude record for any propeller driven aircraft is 29,534 M.
The altitude record for jet powered aircraft is 37,650 M.
Space begins an an altitude of 100,000 M.
Low Earth orbit is 250,000 to 2,000,000 M.
Jim, do you know of any anomalies of aircraft flying over the poles as to additional lift, although it maybe small, but added lift, nonetheless??

The first experimental test site of international importance is see if the drone can match the bar-headed geese in flying over Mt. Everest. This would be big time news.
