New Electric Drone Has Groundbreaking Flight Time

Impossible Aerospace has announced the US-1, an unmanned quadcopter that can fly for over 2 hours on a single charge. That’s over four times as long as similar battery-powered drones, and on par with gas-fueled systems. US-1 can carry a payload of up to 2 kg (~4.4 pounds), with options like multispectral sensors, survey cameras and optical cameras. Hydrogen Fuel Cells will increase this capability even further.

Why it’s important: Beyond its substantial flight time improvement, the US-1 demonstrates the engineering breakthroughs enabled by first-principles thinking. “Most drones are designed with the philosophy that once you are done figuring out the payload and propulsion, you add the battery pack,” Impossible Aerospace CEO Spencer Gore, who previousy worked at Tesla, told IEEE. “Instead, from the very beginning, we designed a battery pack that was meant to fly.”  http://bit.ly/2Q7pbir

Please keep me in mind as your life coach, openings for senior executive engagements, and board openings. If you hear of anything within your network that you think might be a positive fit, I’d so appreciate if you could send a heads up my way. [email protected]
