Engineers have calculated the maximum flight altitude of drones with a power cable
American engineers have calculated the maximum flight altitude of a quadcopter powered by a cable of different thickness, above which the mass of the cable and the current loss in it do not allow the drone to maintain its flight. They also tested a bundle of two drones powered by a wire, expanding the possibilities compared to using a single device.
