Watch the first flight of a drone with a microturbine engine
A company called UAV Turbines
has successfully completed the inaugural flight of its Monarch 5 engine, which is essentially a tiny version of the engines you see on planes.
The company
says this marks “the first time a small-to-medium-sized drone has been powered by a turbine engine.”
UAV Turbines
believes its technology can provide the military and commercial customers with a “reliable, efficient, safe, heavy-fuel propulsion system.”
