Draganflyer X6 UAV - World Smallest UAV

draganflyer x6

Draganflyer X6 is a master piece of engineering. I have been following this technology for quiet sometime but never saw its true commercial application. Today, while surfing the net, i came across Draganflyer X6 and i must confess, it is simply amazing.

As per Gizmodo

“The triple-tipped carbon fiber body has two carbon rotors on each end. The design allows it to move in all directions rapidly, provide enough control to zip around indoors yet resist up to 18 miles per hour of wind. The oil-dampening vibration-killing mount can be loaded with an HD camera, night vision camera, still camera, low light camera or thermal imaging camera. The machine also has GPS, which feeds positioning data into the remote control’s LCD. The X6 can even maintain flight if one of its 6 motors stops working. The battery can be charged in 30 minutes, yet can supply the device with 450 watts of power, which allows the machine to climb 23 feet per second, turn 90 degrees in the same time or do fly-bys at 30 MPH. I don’t know how much these cost”
