The Most Efficient RC Drone Flies 3.5 Hours on one charge

Drones, Transportation & Automation, Uncategorized /

Most drone engineers specialize in one goal: either speed or endurance. But Luke Bell and Mike Bell, the South African father-and-son duo known for pushing electric quadcopters to extreme speeds, seem determined to master both. Recently, Luke quietly set an unofficial world record for multirotor hover endurance, keeping a drone airborne for 3 hours, 31
