Models we've catalogued
How to read this. Specs come from each maker's own spec page or datasheet, with the link and the date we checked it. Blank means the maker doesn't publish it (or we haven't found it). Scores are a whirrwork assessment, not a lab test: we only score a model when independent trials or tests exist. Methodology.
| Model | Weight | Runtime / flight time | Top speed | Range | Max wind resistance | Operating temperature | Assessment |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DJI Avata 2 DJI | 0.377 kg | 23 min | 16 m/s | 13 km | 10.7 m/s | -10 to 40 °C | Not enough evidence to rate |
