Quantum Systems' Apex Recordhunter electric drone hits unofficial speed record of 777 km/h

German drone manufacturer Quantum Systems announced on October 20 that its experimental Apex Recordhunter drone reached a speed of 777 km/h (about Mach 0.63) in testing. Under International Air Sports Federation (FAI) rules, an official record requires two consecutive flights in opposite directions along a measured course to offset wind effects; this test completed only one leg, and the return-leg test is still underway, so the result remains an unofficial record for now. In a level-flight test on June 26, the aircraft had already reached 699 km/h.
