My whole life I have wanted to break a Guinness World Record. Combine that with my love of drones and going fast, this video was almost inevitable for me to make. The idea started about 4 months ago. I decided I wanted to build the fastest drone / quadcopter / quad ever made and break the current world record. This was the most difficult project I have ever undertaken, but the final result was well worth it. We managed to get a recorded top speed of 401 km/h and an average recorded speed over 100m in opposite directions of 397 km/h or 247 mph. The official record is still pending and needs to be verified by Guinness.
