A Comprehensive Analysis of 7-Inch, 10-Inch, and 15-Inch Platforms 1. Introduction: The Paradigm Shift in FPV Propulsion The trajectory of First Person View (FPV) drone technology has undergone a radical divergence over the last half-decade. What began as a discipline dominated by the standardized 5-inch freestyle quadcopter has splintered into specialized heavy-lift and long-range verticals. As operators demand the ability…
The Ultimate Guide to BLDC Motors for FPV Drones: 7″, 10″, and 15″ As an R&D Engineer here at Atom Aviation, I often see pilots trying to scale up their builds using standard 5-inch components. But when you step into the world of 7-inch long-range, 10-inch cinelifters, or 15-inch heavy-lift platforms, the physics changes entirely. You need components that can…
At the Atom Aviation R&D Lab, we spend thousands of hours testing unmanned systems—optimizing link budgets, stressing frames to failure, and analyzing motor response curves. While our daily work often involves industrial platforms and autonomous navigation in GPS-denied environments, the question I get asked most often is simple: “I want to fly FPV. How do I build my first drone?”   Building your…
In this guide, we will walk you through the essential process of flashing and updating the Betaflight firmware on your FPV drone’s flight controller (FC). Whether you are looking for new features or bug fixes, this tutorial covers the steps, potential pitfalls, and troubleshooting tips to get you back in the air safely. Note: Flashing firmware often wipes your existing…
At the Atom Aviation R&D Lab, we are constantly pushing the envelope of what unmanned systems can achieve. While GPS navigation is standard for outdoor long-range missions, true autonomy requires robust performance in “GPS-denied” environments—indoors, under heavy canopy, or in urban canyons. As an Electronics and Communication Engineer, I approach this challenge not just as a pilot, but as a…
