20 minutes flight time on the Jetson with 100km/h top speed means it isn't much good for anything other than a quick blast around the block.

 

At $100k usd that is a really expensive toy with very limited capabilities.

 

Not going to get much mustering done in 20 minutes then you have to charge for an hour before you can fly again.

 

Hot ambient temps and LiPo batteries aren't a great combination either

T510,

 

My comments are based on the possibility (???) that  a version with a APU generating power for range/duration extension, may be possible.

Been out of the field for along time now but a modern header was over a million dollars Au. It's not so long ago that ALL mustering was done on horseback, the idea of using aircraft was way too costly and farfetched.

If you need the tool to efficiently do the job, the money will be found.

Skippy,

 

Battery tech isn't there yet. I'm sure it will get there but at this stage there isn't a light enough APU generator to produce the power required to top up the batteries to usefully extend the range.
