The Chinese drone lasted more than 10 hours in the air, opening up new horizons for unmanned aircraft.

A Chinese technology company has unveiled a drone that simulates the flight of a bird , which has set a new world record for the longest flight time. The device, which can function in the air for more than 10 hours, has opened up new horizons in the field of unmanned aerial vehicles.

The Xinge or ornithopter can fly up to three hours, five minutes and 30 seconds continuously on a single charge, breaking the previous Guinness world record set by the team – which created another bionic aircraft, the predecessor of the Xinge Yunxiao flew in 2 hours, 34 minutes and 38 seconds.

The Xinge aircraft weighs 260 grams with a wingspan of 70 centimeters. Compared to his predecessor Yunxiao, Xinghe's body is smaller, with more than half of Yunxiao's span and one-quarter of his weight.

Technological developments that allow the drone to mimic the movements of birds provide improved aerodynamics and energy savings, which in turn allows you to achieve a record flight time. Experts note that this breakthrough can become a starting point for creating new types of unmanned aerial vehicles that can function in conditions of long and complex missions.

The founders of the company expressed confidence that their development will pave the way for the creation of more advanced systems in the field of unmanned aircraft, which will be able to perform a wide range of tasks in various areas, ranging from environmental monitoring to military operations.

The research team used their bird-like drone to fly more than 1,500 flight missions in more than 10 cities and regions to test and improve their design and technology in a variety of settings.

This innovative device has already attracted the attention of the international community, and it is expected that it will be actively used in the near future.
