That right there is a 22 horsepower water-cooled beast of a drone. Last year my dad and I broke the Guinness World Record for the fastest drone quadcopter in the world with Peregrine 2. However since then our record has been snatched away from us by a Swiss engineer named Sammy. So naturally we want to try and get our record back. First we set up our prototype drone which got us up to 420kmh or 261mph. Next we wanted to find out if we could 3D print the entire frame instead of using the
traditional carbon fibre frame. After the drone caught on fire multiple times we finally got it working and got it up to a speed of 520kmh or 323mph, just in time for it to catch on fire again. So we implemented a water cooling system, tested the scale motor outside a window and also did some CFD using AirShaper to reduce drag. Finally, it was time to fly and we managed to reach a new world record of 585 kilometers an hour or
Finally, it was time to fly and we managed to reach a new world record of 585 kilometers an hour or 363 miles per hour.
