This is a video of a 217+ mph drone custom created for Red Bull to get footage of their F1 race car in action. This drone obviously has a really limited flight time , but it was also built by a small team with commercially available parts. I could see the MIC having something just as capable, but with longer flight times, which could be confused for UFO/UAP. Do you think some sightings could be confused with man made drones that have this type of capability?
Here are some details about the drone and the team that built it:
The drone was designed by a Dutch team called Dutch Drone Gods, with the help of Red Bull’s Advanced Technologies arm. Their goal was to make a drone that was not only capable of filming a race car, but one that could keep up with the car as well. In a development time frame that took over a year, new lightweight aerodynamic materials and parts were developed to achieve weight savings of 10 percent. Trial run tests done on F1 tracks with real race cars showed the team just how quick this new drone they developed was.
The result of the team’s work was a drone that is faster than an F1 car, if you can believe it. Red Bull says the drone is capable of accelerating two times faster than an F1 car. This means this drone can hit 186 mph in just four seconds before going on to reach a top speed of over 217 mph.
But all this performance comes at the expense of battery life. Red Bull says the average consumer drone can fly for 30 minutes, but that’s at speeds of just under 40 mph with far less agility. Red Bull’s drone had a battery life of around three minutes.
