Embodiments of the present invention enable a user of a drone to operate it more quietly. Embodiments of the present invention relate to such a system, apparatus, and a method of and for a drone that may be quiet, that can fly far while minimizing the need to recharge, that may have protective shells, that may employ operational redundancy, that may provide stealth capabilities due, for example, to the design of the shell, and that may allow a drone to stay in position at, for example, 329,999 feet for months. In one embodiment of the present invention, electro-magnetism is used to propel a drone while another embodiment uses an expandable outer shell. The embodiments, while also increasing a drone's range, provide enhanced maneuverability due to the unique shape and drive and steering systems of the drone. Embodiments may provide stealth and overall convenience, together potentially resulting in increased safety to creating a class of sub-space vehicles.
