美國SiFly挑戰大疆!新型無人機續航突破極限!

位於美國加州矽谷的新創公司 SiFly，近日揭露其首批無人機產品——Q12 小型無人機及 Q250 大型機型，主打突破傳統性能限制。
Silicon Valley-based startup SiFly has unveiled its first-generation drones, the compact Q12 and the larger Q250, claiming to break through conventional performance barriers.

SiFly 表示，Q12 能在懸停狀態下持續飛行兩小時，若直線飛行則可達三小時，是現有主流機種的四倍。其最大酬載量為 4.5 公斤，為一般小型無人機的兩倍。
According to SiFly, the Q12 can hover for up to two hours and fly straight for three, outperforming mainstream models by four times. It also carries up to 4.5 kg—double the payload of typical quadcopters.

此外，透過 5G 遙控技術，Q12 最長可飛行 145 公里，遠超業界平均的 10~15 公里。機體採用創新靜音馬達，在 100 公尺外飛行時幾乎無聲。
The drone is operated via 5G connectivity, offering a maximum range of 145 km—far beyond the industry average of 10–15 km. Its silent propulsion system renders it nearly inaudible from 100 meters away.

Q250 則為更大規格機種，最大酬載量高達 90.7 公斤，即便全載也能連續飛行 100 分鐘。此款產品將於 2026 年推出，鎖定軍用壓制、遠端監測、撒藥與物流運輸等應用。
The Q250, SiFly’s heavy-duty model, can carry up to 90.7 kg and sustain 100 minutes of flight under full load. It’s expected in 2026, aimed at military, remote monitoring, crop spraying, and cargo delivery tasks.

雖然 SiFly 尚未公開詳細的技術突破來源，包括儲能與材料創新，但前 NASA 工程師、Whisper Aero 執行長 Mark Moore 已在社群背書其靜音系統具真實性。
While SiFly hasn’t disclosed specifics about how it overcame technological limits in power and materials, ex-NASA engineer and Whisper Aero CEO Mark Moore endorsed the firm’s silent propulsion claims.

目前最大疑問是，SiFly 所有產品皆於美國製造，卻宣稱成本能與中國製品媲美。是否透過 3D 列印等技術壓低成本仍未明朗，後續值得觀察。
One open question is how SiFly can match the cost of Chinese-made drones like DJI’s while manufacturing entirely in the U.S.—possibly using 3D printing, though this remains unconfirmed.
