Introduction
The flight time of a VTOL drone or a UAV’s endurance is the amount of time it can fly without recharging its battery or refueling it. The longer the flight time, the larger the distance and amount of field it can cover. High flight time is important for many applications such as mapping and agricultural applications, as the mission can be accomplished in a less amount of time. Flight time is directly related to the payload of the drone. If you increase the payload, the drone can fly for a lower amount of time. If you want to know more about drone with longest flight time, we will introduce a few in this article.

Flight Time of Fully Electric Drones
A fully electric drone is a type of drone that operates only on battery. Based on the frame and the propulsion system, an appropriate semi solid state battery model will be chosen.
LEt’s introduce a few VTOL Drone with Longest Flight Time and the type of the battery that they use. For example, it is recommended to use 2 units of 6S 27000mAh semi solid state battery for VTOL Drone Sparrow M25 Pro, making it possible to fly for 4 hours without payload, or 3.5 hours with 1.2kg payload. VTOL Drone Voron M35 is another fully electric VTOL that can fly 150min with 5kg payload, or 70min with 10kg payload using 4 units of 6S 27000mAh semi solid state battery or 2 units of 12S 27000mAh semi solid state battery. VTOL Drone Adler M32 has a 3.2m wingspan and can fly 3.8 hours with a 1.2kg payload with 4 units of 6S 30000mAh semi solid state battery. VTOL Drone Akbaba M40 can fly for 4 hours with a 5kg payload or 5 hours without a payload. Here is the table of them listed below:
| Fully Electric VTOL Drone Model | Flight Time |
| VTOL Drone Sparrow M25 Pro | 3.5 hours @ 1.2kg payload |
| VTOL Drone Voron M35 | 2.5 hours @ 5kg payload |
| VTOL Drone Adler M32 | 3.8 hours @ 1.2kg payload |
| VTOL Drone Akbaba M40 | 4 hours @ 5kg payload |

Flight Time of Hybrid Drones
Hybrid VTOL drone is a type of drone that uses both electrical propulsion system (mainly used for vertical take off) and a fuel UAV engine for the cruise or fixed wing mode. The fuel engine increases the flight time of the VTOL drone. If we want to mention a few VTOL Drone with Longest Flight Time we can name Lift VTOL B37 and Lift VTOL B51 which have 15 hours and 7.5 hours flight time with a maximum of 18kg and 45kg payload. MH675 is another hybrid VTOL drone with 6.75m wingspan and 30kg maximum payload, which can fly 3 – 6 hours.
| Hybrid VTOL Drone Model | Flight Time |
| Lift VTOL B37 | 15 hours max. |
| Lift VTOL B51 | 7.5 hours max. |
| Eule MH675 | 3 – 6 hours |
