How long can a quadcopter fly? Everyone has their own quadcopter or plan to diy a quadcopter want to make this question clear. But there’s no one rule to give a definite answer to the question. And there’s no getting round it, so today this quesion will be discussed.
How long can a quadcopter fly?
AS we know that there are some common uses of quadcopter include:
- Taking aerial videos or photograph
- FPV
- Mini drone
- More professional uses (package delivery or agriculture)
Each quacopter is special and necessitated more standardization of flight time, I will be showing you how long time can achieve main work demand of common quacopter in order to know approximate ranges for quadcopter flight time.
Common quadcopter | Flight time demand | For example |
Taking aerial videos or photograph | 10-25 Mins | Inspire , Yuneec |
FPV | 2-5 Mins | Runner 250 |
Mini drone | 1-2 Mins | Hubsan X4 ,Eachine H8C |
agriculture | 15-30 Mins | HY-B-15L,DJI MG-1 |
Which motor configuration types quadcopter you will be diy? and then how long can a quadcopter fly? you would have ready know that.
How to calculate quadcopter flight time?
Do you know what’s the influences of quadcopter flight time and which is the critical? In my opinion, the influences for calculate are so many,such as based on different situation and environment of flight, how long can a quadcopter fly also related to wind speed and direction when over the sky, Also with the weight of quadcopter and loading weight. Another important factor is the quadcopter battery, which’s capacity,weight,c-racing and voltage will strongly effect the results.
A few months ago, I posted the article about How to calculate quadcopter flight times.The calculator formula is Quadcopter flight times =(Battery Capacity * Battery Discharge /Average Amp Draw)*60 , if you would like to how to calculate quadcopter flight time , please visit the page and leave you comments if you have any question.
Make a conclusion
Obviously choosing quadcopter battery would be particularly important for quadcopter flight time after you finishing or shopping a quadcopter. In my opinion, flying skills of pilots also very important for flight time. In fact, extreme practice is required to fly easily and efficiently , Just do lots of practice.
