This summer microdrones' md4-1000 achieved something no other quadcopter had previously done.
The unmanned aerial system, which was equipped with the latest GPS technology from u-blox and an HD camera from Sony, conquered the Alps by crossing the Saint-Gotthard Pass connecting Switzerland and Italy.
The md4-1000 ascended and descended along a pre-programmed path over the mountain range while encountering strong winds and avoiding web-like power cables.
Here are the specs from the recorded flight:
Total length of flight: 12.223 meters
Total flying time: 22 minutes, 26 seconds
Maximum altitude: 2.174 meters
Overall traveled vertical height: 1.587 meters
Altitude of takeoff zone: 1.453 meters
Altitude of landing zone: 1.307 meters
Vertical height traveled from takeoff zone: 720 meters
