A computer-implemented method, system, and/or computer program product optimizes an operation of an aerial drone. A drone on-board computer on an aerial drone receives sensor readings from sensors on the aerial drone, where the sensor readings detect a change in flight conditions while the aerial drone is flying between a first location and a second location. In response to the sensors on the aerial drone detecting a change in the flight conditions while the aerial drone is flying between the first location and the second location, the drone on-board computer disengages an electric motor from propellers on the aerial drone and engages an internal combustion engine to the propellers.
