• Please note that a manufacturer’s advertized battery life is a lie, so divide their number by 3 when comparing to this requirement

• Most of the other requirements trade off with battery life (e.g. more powerful GPU will drain it faster, brighter screen will drain it faster)

• This requirement can be dropped if a large external battery is purchased

Ground station may not have access to power during flight tests.
