Flight time remains the Achilles’ heel of electric multi-rotor drones, with even high-end commercial units struggling to stay airborne for an hour. Enter Modovolo, a startup that’s shattered this limitation …read more Continue reading Modular Multi-Rotor Flies Up To Two Hours
Vehicles that change their shape and form to adapt to their operating environment have long captured the imagination of tech enthusiasts, and building one remains a perennial project dream for …read more Continue reading Transforming Drone Drives and Flies
In a major jump into the era of eVTOL air taxis and multicopter cargo drones, the US FAA has issued new regulations that introduce the first new aircraft category, called “power-lift” aircraft, since modern helicopters were introduced in the 1940s.Cont… Continue reading FAA creates America’s first new aircraft category since the 1940s
Sometimes you instantly know who’s behind a project from the subject matter alone. So when we saw this “aerial dog poop removal system” show up in the tips line, we …read more Continue reading Dog Poop Drone Cleans Up the Yard So You Don’t Have To
These days, even hobbyist multi-rotor aircraft are capable of carrying considerable payloads. For example, the test rig that [Brian Brocken] recently put together should be able to loft more than …read more Continue reading Full-Scale Flying DeLorean Gets Closer to Liftoff
Quadcopter drones may be agile but they’re also relatively wide and delicate, limiting their potential uses. The Morphy drone addresses these drawbacks with flexible propeller arms which allow it to basically just squeeze its way through narrow spaces….
