ALBAWABA - Quadcopter drone technology has seen rapid development in recent years, with smaller sizes and improved stability.
However, a YouTuber called Hoarder Sam succeeded in designing the world's smallest FPV drone, measuring an astonishing 22mm.
This tiny drone, which easily fits inside a Pringles chips can, weighs just 25 grams, including the battery and camera, and can fly with stability and agility comparable to the bigger versions of drones, Hoarder Sam said in a YouTube video.

This innovation resulted from a meticulous redesign of every motor, wire, and circuit, inspired by the "bone plane" frame, which features two overlapping propellers on each end, reducing size without compromising stability or propulsion, according to Interesting Engineering.
Despite its small size, the aircraft was able to execute sharp turns and maintain precise control response, with an average flight time of two and a half minutes, slightly less than that of larger aircraft.
