Pocket Drone has two main propellers. The third propeller plays an important role because it has the function of a telescope, thus helping the aircraft to observe and avoid collisions with obstructions. Equipped with a rechargeable lithium-polymer battery and a GoPro camera, the aircraft can work continuously for up to 20 minutes. The three-bladed propeller system makes the device quieter and less energy efficient than the conventional four-bladed propeller.
