Griff Aviation, a professional Unmanned Aerial Systems developer out of Norway, just released a new drone capable of lifting almost 500 pounds. The strikingly designed Griff 300 Drone uses eight propellers to lift loads up to 496lbs and can stay in the air for up to 45 minutes. While there’s no word yet on speed, height, pricing or availability, the drone has been certified by both the Norwegian Civil Aviation Authority and the European Aviation Safety Agency. The Griff 300 is far more likely to see use in industrial, military, law enforcement, and search and rescue applications, but that might make it even more impressive in our book.
