Texas Instruments Calculates Enhanced Drone Battery Life
Expanding drone battery life is often seen as the Holy Grail of UAS. For one mega-corporation known best for its calculators, a pair of new circuit designs may just add up to more flight time and subtract from power limitations. Texas Instruments recently released two circuit-based subsystem reference designs it says will allow drone manufacturers to make their battery packs … [Read more...] about Texas Instruments Calculates Enhanced Drone Battery Life
A Group of Friends from MIT Might Just Have Solved “the Battery Problem”
Solving "the battery problem" for smaller commercial drones is no small feat. But a 1 year-old Philadelphia startup, led by a group of MIT aerospace engineering graduates, might have done just that. Asylon - taken loosely from the ancient Greek word for "safe harbor" - is an autonomous battery swap station, which can change, and charge, the battery for whichever drone you … [Read more...] about A Group of Friends from MIT Might Just Have Solved “the Battery Problem”
