The guy made a drone that flew very fast, and recorded 4K videos

George Matus, a boy just 18 years old and just graduated from high school, surprised the world when he unveiled an unmanned aircraft with a record speed of 85 miles per hour.

George Matus was only 11 years old when he drove an unmanned drone (drone) for the first time."I was attracted immediately , " the young man said. By the age of 16, the boy became a professional drone racer every day and acted as a pilot for a new aircraft.

Currently, George Matus is 18 years old and has just graduated from high school. However, instead of continuing with college, he decided to pursue a career proposal by technology billionaire Peter Thiel. George Matus used the investment to open his own company - Teal - which today has just launched its first product: an unmanned aircraft that can easily carry phones to 4K video recording. A special feature of this drone is that it can reach a maximum speed of 85 miles per hour (136km / h) while flying, gliding and tumbling. This is the "champion" speed in the current drone world.

The unmanned aircraft can easily carry phones for 4K video recording.

A video shared by George Matus on YouTube shows the impressive flying speed of the product. Unfortunately, the quality of 4K video recording when flying at this speed has not been tested. Currently, users can order George Matus products for $ 1299 (28.8 million) and will be delivered the product this Christmas.

Teal promises to bring more than an ordinary unmanned aircraft with a stable camera. It is equipped with the NVIDIA TX1 "supercomputer" with the processing capability of a learning machine that helps control and identify images. These are also advanced features equipped on DJI and Yuneec / Intel unmanned aircraft.

Matus said: "It's basically a supercomputer inside an unmanned aircraft. Matus hopes that Teal will become a full platform with applications developed by 3rd parties. The company is building APIs for release to teams at national production and programming competitions ".

The world's fastest Drone.

However, Matus is expected to face many difficulties. Developers tend to focus on already existing platforms and have grown as DJI and 3D Robotics.

What Teal can hope for is the optimism of youth and some outstanding features of the product. Not only can it reach 85 miles per hour, it can also operate in wind conditions of 40 miles per hour and is waterproof to fly in rain and snow.

Matus is currently living with his parents in Utah, USA - who are always supportive of his son's products and ideas. Matus's secret is to produce the perfect product the first time it launches, which startup projects like Lily and 3D Robotics didn't do well in the past (they meet with the device's camera). .
