How I Built the FASTEST Drone on Earth

Combine that with my love of drones and going fast, this video was almost inevitable for me to make. The idea started about 4 months ago. I decided I wanted to build the fastest drone / quadcopter / quad ever made and break the current world record. This was the most difficult project I have ever undertaken, but the final result was well worth it. We managed to get a recorded top speed of 401 km/h and an average recorded speed over 100m in opposite directions of 397 km/h or 247 mph. The official record is still pending and needs to be verified by Guinness. Funded by Insta 360 as part of their Think Bold Project! Thank you to the following people for helping make this video possible: My dad, Mike Bell, for designing the frame and helping along the whole way. @Mike-Bell/ Darren Smith for the drone tuning and shooting the follow cam drone footage on both attempt days. Hloni Coleman for shooting both attempt days. The Worcester Gliding Club for giving me permission to do the world record attempt on their grounds. Ryan Lademann for setting an epic record to beat and inspiring me to try and beat it for myself as well as making his GPS speed analyser code available to the public which turned out to be very helpful! 0:00 - Intro 1:05 - Drone V1 3:26 - Drone V2 4:23 - Drone V3 6:08 - The Design and Build Process 7:08 - Tuning 7:29 - First World Record Attempt 9:02 - Further Testing and Rebuilding 10:23 - Second World Record Attempt 11:31 - Analysing the Results 13:17 - Drone Mounted Camera Angle 13:50 - Outro #guinessworldrecord #drone #fpvdronec
