【Global Network UAV Comprehensive Report】In the past, consumer-grade UAVs, and even many industrial-grade multi-rotor UAVs, the endurance time was less than 30 minutes. And why can the DJI Mavic 3 have a battery life of 46 minutes? On April 13, DJI officially revealed the secret, which is the reason for these three points:
The exterior design has changed
When flying, the air flow to the UAV will form a lift under the action of the propeller, and it will also impact the UAV, forming a flight resistance. The Mavic 3's arm, fuselage and gimbal shape are aerodynamically optimized to minimize wind resistance and minimize flight power consumption.
The material is stronger and lighter
Weight is an important factor affecting endurance, and the Mavic 3 arm uses a unique carbon fiber reinforced material, which is lighter while strengthening and stiffness are higher. As a result, the Mavic 3 has a higher strength fuselage, and the material weight and footprint are significantly reduced, leaving more space to accommodate the battery, increase the capacity, and thus improve the battery life.
The module fit is more reasonable
The UAV is composed of many modules, but the modules are not designed separately, but at the beginning of development, after accurate calculation and joint design, the most suitable proportion of each module is determined to find the optimal solution of the system. Modules were strictly required before they were born and assembled like a natural pair.
