南非父子打造全球最高效四轴无人机

South African Father-Son Duo Builds World's Most Efficient Quadcopter Drone

据东盟低空商会消息，3月3日，南非一对工程师父子打造的电动四轴无人机，以3小时31分6秒的连续悬停成绩，非官方打破多旋翼无人机续航纪录，引发业内关注。这架无人机不仅大幅超过此前3小时12分钟的成绩，更在飞行中表现出惊人的“余量”——飞行2小时14分钟时，电池电量依然显示还有约33%。由于研发者事先并未预料到能飞这么久，也没有按照正式认证流程安排全程记录，这一成绩目前仍处于“非官方”状态。

According to the ASEAN Low-Altitude Chamber of Commerce, on March 3rd, an electric quadcopter drone built by a South African engineer father-son duo unofficially broke the multi-rotor drone endurance record with a continuous hover time of 3 hours, 31 minutes, and 6 seconds, attracting industry attention. This drone not only significantly exceeded the previous record of 3 hours and 12 minutes but also demonstrated astonishing "reserve" during the flight – after 2 hours and 14 minutes of flight, the battery still showed approximately 33% charge remaining. As the developers did not anticipate flying for this long beforehand and did not arrange for full documentation following a formal certification process, this achievement is currently still in an "unofficial" state.
