Two brushless direct current motors assembled at Tobyhanna Army Depot, Pennsylvania, helped a battery-powered small-unmanned aircraft system shatter a world endurance record, flying for more than eight hours in the desert heat. The drone was designed in under 10 minutes using computer prompts via Prometheus, an adaptability software. Within 24 hours of takeoff, the aircraft was fabricated inside a mobile containerized production factory using commercial 3D printers, integrated with the TYAD brushless motors and a battery from an industry partner, and assembled on-site by a three-person team.
