If you fly a drone on a train, what happens when the train leaves?

Will the drone fly backwards or not?

Answer

The drone flying in the train will behave the same as a ball lying on the table in the train.

When the train departs, the drone will move backwards relative to you sitting in the seat (towards the tail of the train).
