Technology enthusiasts Mike Bell and his son Luke Maximo Bell have developed a special drone model that resembles a rocket. This model reached a speed of 585 km/h, beating the previous world record by a large margin, and now holds the record for fastest drone.
The special drone, named Peregreen 3, enters Guinness World Record for Fastest Drone
This model, which holds the new fastest drone record, has been announced as the Peregreen 3. Beating the previous record by 27 km/h, this special drone produces 22 horsepower. The model also features a specially designed liquid cooling system to prevent prototypes from burning out under high power. Bell points out that the previous version, the Peregreen 2, which reached 480 km/h, drew 8.9 kW of power.
The all-electric Peregreen 3 weighs 2.77 kg. This record-breaking device draws a maximum power of 16.2 kW. This high power consumption causes it to drain its battery in the blink of an eye. Unfortunately, the drone, whose body is entirely 3D printed, can only maintain this high speed for 23 seconds. The model will soon be officially entered in the Guinness Book of World Records.
Meanwhile, significant developments are also taking place in the consumer drone market. For example, one of the latest models, the DJI Neo 2, weighs just 151 grams, well below the 250-gram limit. This drone, which protects its propellers and can always be carried in a bag, is available in Europe with a price tag of 240 euros. The Neo 2 can take off directly from the hand and can be steered with hand gestures. Equipped with an advanced automatic object/person tracking system, the model allows for 4K video recording at 60 fps with its 1/2-inch, 12-megapixel camera.
