Great visionaries may not have it easy at times, as ordinary people find it difficult to believe them. Sometimes they were even considered crazy. It was no different with Nikola Tesla either. But who is crazy here? In 1898, Nikola Tesla patented nothing but a drone. Let's turn time forward 119 years.
Tesla, the manufacturer of electric cars, is now raising spirits with drones.
But what else could you expect from a company that has electric motors practically written in its DNA? Namely, they designed tricopter, which will be intended for recording videos over long distances. Aurora, as the drone was named, you will be able to operated manually or it will fly independently. His godfather, designer Alberto Esses, he thought 3 rotors with larger propellers, which enables a lower number of revolutions and consequently less energy used. The battery will thus have for as much as 35 percent more life. Due to the larger propellers, the acceleration will also be significantly faster, and the drone will be even more 'agile'. Fisheye lens on the camera will enable recording 180-degree vertical and horizontal 1080 HD footage.
The price is not yet known.
