Freiburg student cracks world record: drone flies 557.64 km/h!

Freiburg, Deutschland - Samuele Gobbi, a master student at the University of Technology and Architecture in Freiburg, has set up a new speed record with its quadrocopter drone. The drone, which bears the name "Fastboy 2", reached an impressive speed of 557.64 km/h. This performance was officially recorded in the Guinness Book of Records, a result that Gobbi achieved during his master's thesis within a single semester. The development of this state -of -the -art drone was realized under the attentive supervision of Professor Nicolas Rouvé and with the support of the interdisciplinary research groups Grid, which specializes in drone technology.

In the past time, it turned out that Gobbi's drone clearly exceeded the previous record of 480 km/h, held by Luke Maximo Bell from South Africa. External experts monitored the decisive flight to validate the speed and confirmed the new record of 557.64 km/h.

technological innovations of the "Fastboy 2"

The "Fastboy 2" is not only remarkable due to its speed. It has advanced technologies, including an innovative aerodynamic design and a new cooling system that uses water to cool the electronics on high -speed flights. These technical characteristics are the result of Gobbi's profound interest in the development of drone technology, which he already started when he developed a prototype to increase the flight speed with friends.

In addition to the high speed of 557.64 km/h, which was achieved in two opposite directions over a distance of 100 meters, the drone "Fastboy 2" is also characterized by its weight of 1.6 kg and a maximum output of 10 kW. Gobbi has acquired extensive knowledge of electrics, mechanics, aerodynamics and project management as part of his master's thesis.

drones - a further developed technology

The achievements of GoBbi are part of a larger trend in drone technology that has already revolutionized our world. Modern drones can be used in many ways, from agriculture to industry to leisure activities. The use of algorithms and artificial intelligence to improve autonomous flight ability and obstacle detection is becoming increasingly common. These progress allow drones to master more complex tasks efficiently and safely.

The future of this technology seems promising because new applications are continuously developed. Companies such as Amazon and DHL also recognize the potential of drone deliveries, especially in difficult areas that are difficult to reach with conventional means of transport. The developments in this industry show that it is not only about speed records, but also about innovative solutions that can enrich our everyday life.

In the coming years it will be exciting to see how the drone technology will develop and which new horizons it will open for further applications. Gobbi's record is only a small but impressive part of this technical evolution.
