Notes for folks who want to go faster: - Make the fuselage skinnier and longer. Fit the batteries closely and eliminate excess volume. - Switch to an H-wing rather than an X, increase the wing span and minimize the distance from the motors to the main wing. This gets most of your wing area available for lift. - Use an actual asymmetrical wing section to reduce parasitic drag from lift. - Mount the wing with some fixed angle of attack to shift lift from the body to the wing. Body lift seems free when you just consider parasitic drag. But consider induced drag and suddenly it's not so awesome. You want the wing making lots of lift in cruise and the body closer to neutral. Given how big your fuselage is compared to your wing, you'll always get a lot of fuselage lift. - Polish that surface! At that scale, you want surface deviations that are *tiny*, like under a thousandth of an inch.
At these speeds you get all the body lift you need from 1 degree angle which means there is almost zero induced drag. No need for wings because the body is pretty big dictated by the battery size.
@@Mike-Bell How much does it weigh, about 3 kg? Body is about 15 cm diameter? Hmm. You're right. At 450 km/hr, sea level air density, dynamic pressure is 9600 Pa. Induced drag from 30 N of lift is maybe 1.7 N, which is 210 watts of drag. If you figure your ESC, motors, and props have a combined efficiency of 50%, that's 420 watts from the battery, or 2.5% of your battery power. I still wonder if there's a way to make it skinnier. What batteries do you use?
I'd love for this to be the start of a back and forth between one small youtuber, and a multi-billion-dollar company, one-upping each other on drone designs
@@wizard101stormdude I was referencing the fact that it has sorta already started. He originally got the record, then Red Bull beat it, then he beat it again.

@Luke Congratulations! I am trying on speed running drones too and I love your progress and hard work! I know about the fires first hand! Super duper nice accomplishment!
Congrats on the new record. You are helping to push the boundaries of FPV racing drone technology!! For a while, most quadcopter companies were so focused on 3 inch, small, light weight drones. Now there is a swing back towards 5-10 quadcopters with S8 batteries and monster ESC's. Soon we will push into S10-S12 monsters and quadcopters that can maintain flight well over 1-3 hours! It seems like every month some inventor in their lab also comes up with another use case for quadcopters. Whether it be chasing F1 cars, flying in the air and water, product delivery and a host of defensive/offensive war tech.
Brilliant effort, I have been manufacturing new projects for many years and know the frustration of when it goes wrong many times! But focus which you guys have is the way to win. Congratulations

I don't think they were using "Nirmal operating conditions" in this video. Batteries have a C rating, which indicates how much output they can deliver. This clearly exceeded that rating, as the batteries caught fire.
I’m curious why you’re using such a conventional design for your props. There are more efficient, powerful designs that are used in real aircraft that could be scaled down that could offer all sorts of advantages.
Availability. Printed props wont last a second in that application. Similar when there’s hype about toroidal props. And Injected molding is super expensive to setup
@@LukeMaximoBell1 What about sintered metal. Again, I’m no expert, I’m just asking. I am fascinated by this stuff. I fly professionally and over the past 15 years or so there have been some really neat advancements in prop tech for actual aircraft. I’m not sure what kind of RPMs your props are seeing but I imagine it is on par with something like a modern turbo prop. In that area more and more older aircraft are seeing their three and four bladed props replaced by 5, 6, and 8 bladed props with modified shapes like paddle board and modified tips. There are a few companies playing around with contra rotating designs that are interesting, making kind of an external jet prop. These mods greatly improve performance in thrust, airspeed, noise, and fuel efficacy which that last part may or may not relate to improve battery life. One of my hobby’s is shooting and there have been some really impressive strides made in metal 3D printing. There are a few suppressors on the market now that simply couldn’t be made without a 3D printer. The pressures involved in containing hot gasses from a muzzle blast are exceptionally high. I can’t imagine that something like that would fail in your application. Composites and hybrid composites likewise have proven to be very durable. It would be interesting to see these strides getting scaled down to use in UAV/drone tech. Good video on the subject ruclips.net/video/ojVNOj-q3SQ/видео.htmlsi=L-SVxDF0cBbn48dT
@@SuperTrb0 and to add, the bigger prop size is the more efficient it is. So just by scaling down props in jets or boats doesn’t guarantee itll be efficient and economical.
@@zachmoyer1849 Thats the Dutch Drone Gods (DDG) yes. I wouldn't call it a redbull drone just because they did some canopy optimization and put their logo on it. Anyway, they said its the fastest camera drone that can last a whole track and it probably still is.
Apples and oranges. Not dogging on this channel or anything but DDG has way more resources at their disposal. If they wanted to make a drone for this purpose, I think they'd give this drone a good run for it's money.
This was so inspiring! I need to experience this kind of speed! Are there any plans to making the parts and tune available so we can build our own speed demons?

I think your expertise would be useful in the drone racing circuits. It is there that the problems of having flying cars can be worked out. Who knows What comes after? Good luck.
Wow, that opening in the front was perfect and if it's opened in the back for the Air to pass through unimpeded I can imagine it must run cool even at full throttle, just like a PC pull air in and expel air out for cooler components, probably would go faster as well, just have to create a barrier inside to keep condensation to a minimum on the components especially on cooler days

You’re smart enough to have me send you the parts for a water jet cnc system. It’s much more satisfying to do it as much as you can yourself.
That was really epic!
Baie Lekker !! Great job guys. That was not an easy project but you nailed it. Congrats on the Guinness Record :)
Thanks so much 🇿🇦
170 A @42 V is quite impressive - no wonder the wires were a little bit too thin... ;) Great job! I think I need to pick up the drone building again as it is so much fun. Thanks for the inspiration!
You and your father are beasts! Incredible achievement. That is 93mph faster than my Turbine-powered RC Viper jet. Congratulations to you two.
