On a long leash: New tethering system for heavy-duty drones

04/2024: Regardless of whether on land, on water or in the air: the maximum range or operating time with one battery charge has so far been the biggest limiting factor for electrically powered modes of transport. Wired flight systems promise a solution here, at least for local applications, but are often limited in their payload. But the Munich startup, EFT Mobility, is now preparing to change this with a tethering system for heavy-duty drones.
