Notes on flight time & test conditions
How Maximum Flight Time is calculated: real-world tests, wind ≤ 3 m/s, 15 ± 5 °C, sea level; hovering out of ground effect (≥ 2×D or ≥ 1 m); maximum payload; flight time measured 100% → 15%. Flight time may vary depending on weather conditions, air density, battery status, and aerodynamic characteristics.
