New York: An Australian was declared the winner of the first US national drone-racing competition held during the California State Fair last week. Chad Nowak of Brisbane, Australia, won all three events at the competition. He won the individual time trial, was on the winning team time trial squad, and won the freestyle trick event, Quartz reported.
The race involved first-person view (FPV) drones, the small, custom-built drones with cameras attached to them that broadcast video feeds back to specially-designed goggles that allow pilots to see what the drones see. These drones can hit speeds of more than 100 kilometre per hour (kmph) One of the motive of the competition was to bring together racers, enthusiasts, vendors and manufacturers from across the world to forge connections as the sport of drone racing grows.
