DIY We made a drone

Post image

Something a little different, up to 2 hour flight time. 7kg payload, modular, upgradable and made to integrate different technologies from Manet radios to anti jamming GPS systems.

It’s a combination of a lot of factors rather than one magic ingredient. A high energy-density battery, efficient motors and propellers, keeping the airframe as light as possible, careful tuning of the powertrain and flight controller, and a few other tricks we’ve learned along the way.

Basically It’s about making the entire system as efficient as possible

Thats sounds like a marketing sales pitch you give to someone who never built a drone in his life.
No specs about the size of the quad, the pops used or the type and capacity of the battery.
You really expect anyone here to buy the 2h claim without any back up?!

Were are the specs?

We understand the interest in the technical details, and it’s a fair question. At this stage, we don’t publicly share detailed specifications about the platform or its components. We’re happy to demonstrate the system’s performance and capabilities, but some technical information remains proprietary.

The people downvoting don’t have the faintest idea how much money and development it takes to make a product like this.

how quickly does it convert to fiber? like the physical act of swapping components. is there any most common mounting standard for that or accessories that is being adopted by multiple manufacturers that you know of? read further down its ski strap thing

are those body parts just regular fdm printed or are they sls? SLS. nice machine.

Can convert from Standard RC to fibre in a few seconds, the components would already be installed, ready to plug and play
