LaserMotive and Ascending Technologies set a world record for continuous flight of an unmanned helicopter. Using an AscTec Pelican Quadrocopter, LaserMotive used a laser power-beaming system to transmit power to the vehicle and keep it aloft for 12 hours, 37 minutes. This video shows the entire flight, sped up to fit within the 4-minute timespan of the video. Inset shots reveal the breakthrough technologies developed by the two companies to make this seminal event possible.

Produced by Owen RIchard Kindig of Ztoryteller LLC. Shot at the Boeing Future of Flight Aviation Center, October 27-28, 2010.
