How To Design and Build Longer Lasting Drones<br />

Overcoming the limitations inherent in drone technology<br />

By Shaun Passley, Founder, Zenadrone<br />

Drones work. From search and rescue operations in Ukraine, to COVID-19 vaccine drops in India, to<br />

tracking bison in protected landscapes across Colorado, drones have proven in recent years to be an<br />

indispensable tool <strong>for</strong> a wide range of organizations. Still, like all technologies, there is room <strong>for</strong><br />

improvement.<br />

It’s easy to buy the hype that says the sky's the limit regarding the potential applications <strong>for</strong> drones, but<br />

it doesn ’t take long to realize their limitations. For drones to achieve all the things that the industry’s<br />

manufacturers are promising, they will need to evolve into a tool that is more efficient and longer-lasting.<br />

Identifying the barriers to achieving longer-lasting drones<br />

Battery power is the lifeblood <strong>for</strong> drones. Thus, producing longer-lasting drones means increasing the<br />

amount of battery power they can store. Barring any un<strong>for</strong>eseen breakthrough in battery technology, this<br />

remains an issue that is best addressed by simply adding more batteries. Un<strong>for</strong>tunately, that path leads<br />

to the other major barrier to achieving longer lasting drones: Reducing their weight.<br />

Decreasing the weight of a drone is the easiest way to extend battery life. With less weight to lift, drones<br />

draw less power from batteries. However, decreasing weight often means using materials that are less<br />

stable, which decreases the overall lifespan of a drone.<br />
