Most commercial consumer drones presently have a relatively short flight time, as determined by the amount of weight in batteries that a drone can carry for its power needs.
Colin Jeffrey at Gizmag reports on new developing research of a Miniature fuel cell to keep drones aloft for over an hour.
Our target in this regard is a drone equipped with a power source that will enable the drone to follow us around for one round of golf, i.e. 4 to 5 hours.
Given the newness and excitement in this new industry, we imagine that such an improvement will come earlier than we currently think.
