To be fair to the Eurofighter … it will have reached about 30k ft by then, too.
Beat that!
Not me. I abide by the drone code - 400 feet maximum for me
Not the circumstances we’d like to award the Speed Freak Badge … but, heck … you definitely topped the current M2P speed of 55.42 mph.
We’ve decided it would be a little (?) unfair to have your speed as an entry on the leader-board - but it will at least be in this thread for all to see.
(Anyone reading this at a later date … this thread relates : ESC Failure - Catastrophic - Mavic 2 Pro)
Very fair… “mentioned in dispatches”
A long way to go!
Fastest P4 is 65mph.
Check all the fastest speeds by model in the first post.
Oh dear!! So the other day i was messing about putting the quad through its paces, i had it up at around 120m or so!! and was seeing what it would fall like if i cut the throttle and it fell like a brick! luckily i was able to recover its downward demise…proper twitching time…never again!!! just had a look at my Telemetry and lo and behold it hit 230kph!!!
Just a note, i have no way to verify this other than the telemetry, would a free falling quad hit that sort of speed?
Could possibly reach that kind of speed, you just need to work it out using the formula below. . . . .
where
- represents terminal velocity,
- is the mass of the falling object,
- is the acceleration due to gravity,
- is the drag coefficient,
- is the density of the fluid through which the object is falling, and
- is the projected area of the object.
230kph v 240.033kph, close enough for government work. . . .
Damn scary way to try for a “Speed Freak” badge though Wayne . . .
Only the horizontal speed is permissible for Speed Freak badge consideration.
Won’t be doing it again!!.. as it didnt even count!!
Sorry must have missed that in the rules!!
In all cases, those methods report only horizontal speeds.
That is what I posted !! anyway, nevermind it’s only for fun!! I did try though and did it by the rules
‘Wowser’?? Tuning into Mikey by any chance?
Just saying but look above
Indeed look above - complete with the log showing the speed attained was in the horizontal plane, irrespective of what the vertical speed was whilst auto-landing.
That log is being shown on AirData - where ONLY horizontal speed is reported.
This is easily proven by there being plenty of examples of vertical motion reporting a zero “speed”.

Also please note …
… and to quote your post …
… and therefore it was, most definitely, not flying.
