Drone speed record falls again as Blackbird hits 453 mph using custom carbon fiber propellers

Ben Biggs and Aidan Kelly say their Blackbird FPV drone hit an unofficial 453.6 mph in testing.

They also recorded a 425.6 mph two-way average using new handmade carbon-fiber propellers.

The run appears to beat the standing Guinness drone speed record, but it has not been certified yet.

If verified, the flight would reset the drone speed benchmark and show how small design tweaks can unlock big gains.
