These are a couple videos highlighting the journey of father/son team Mike and Luke Bell as they attempt to reclaim the world record for fastest quadrocopter drone after their record was snatched from them last year. There’s a lot of interesting discussion about the engineering and testing of the drone, but, besides the occasional drone fire, the best footage is the actual test flights. At full throttle (which would drain the battery in just 23 seconds) the drone reaches an impressive 363MPH. Damn, what I wouldn’t give to experience flying that fast. “Commercial planes fly at like 600MPH.” What! *ahem* I meant I totally knew that, I was talking about with a jetpack.

Videos below, test footage towards the end, 14:25 in the first video.
