Anyone else following the DARPA Lift Challenge?
$6.5M in prize money to build a drone that can:
- Stay under 55 lbs
- Take off with a 110 lb minimum payload (4x its weight)
- Fly 4 nautical miles loaded (12 laps)
- Drop the payload
- Fly 1 more nautical mile empty (3 laps)
- Finish inside a 30-min window
Top 3 teams split the full prize as long as they clear the 4:1 ratio.
Most heavy-lift drones can barely lift their own weight. DARPA wants 4x. That's never been done.
