The disclosure generally provides methods, systems and apparatus for networked drone systems. In an exemplary networked drone system, a plurality of smaller drones are attached to a fixed platform to increase delivery payload, distance, reliability and safety. As a drone nears charge depletion, it is replaced in-flight with a new drone. Thus, the networked drone system need not be grounded to replace the depleted drone. In another embodiment, flight efficiency is increased by providing collapsible wins to the networked drone system.
