A charging system for electrical aircraft includes multiple charging drones distributed in an airspace. A respective charging drone is configured so as to be operated with a first type of fuel, wherein the respective charging drone carries a supply of a second type of fuel. The respective charging drone includes an energy converter, which is configured so as to provide from the supply of the second type of fuel an electrical power to be transmitted to an electrical aircraft located in the airspace. The charging system is configured so as to identify among the charging drones located in the airspace the one which demonstrates optimal criteria for the electrical aircraft and to prompt this charging drone to proceed to the electrical aircraft, carry out a charging operation, and fly back to its waiting position.
