“We’re excited by this partnership,” said KULR’s CEO Michael Mo in the press release. “The DR1 league is already skirting the very limits of drone and electric vehicle performance and, with our space-flight carbon fiber, together we can do some things that will really blow people away.”
KULR Technology has produces a vertically-aligned carbon-fiber material that it claims is lighter, more flexible, and more efficient than other thermal management materials. The material can replace fans, heat sinks, or liquid cooling solutions, making it perfect for aerospace applications and now for drones.
The material will be used on drone cameras, fast quadrotors, and batteries, and its thermal management capabilities will enhance battery performance. This enables the drones to fly faster and safer. The goal is to use this partnership with DR1 Racing to improve the technology for future aerospace applications.
“It’s going to be a great, high-impact partnership,” DR1 Founder and CEO Brad Foxhoven said. “We want every crumb of power, speed, agility and ability from our racing drones and, with KULR Technology on board as our Technology Advisors, we’re absolutely going to get that – improving the sport, the fan experience and the technology in the process.”
