The rocket-like design of the motorized nacelles and the body of the quadcopter helped set the record. Except for the four remote-controlled electric motors, all the stuffing of the drone is hidden in a streamlined elongated body. In horizontal parts of the flight, the drone opens its nose in the direction of movement and meets the minimum air resistance.

To avoid damage to the propellers during takeoff, the drone is built on a special support that takes off but is less likely to land. To break the record, the quadcopter must fly a hundred meters in one direction, turn and fly a hundred meters strictly in the opposite direction to avoid wind assist or drag. Also, the drone should always move at the same height – this will remove the influence of gravity on it.

The record was broken in November 2022 in Scottsdale, Arizona. To this day, the enthusiast has been going since 2016, when he decided to set the speed record for these devices. There is nothing unique in the design of the quadcopter, only a competent arrangement of components and a well-thought-out body. All nodes were purchased ready-to-use and cost the designer $400, of which $120 is the cost of the drone control glasses.
