revolutionary crash resilience

in response to community feedback prioritizing durability, betafpv engineered the air65 ii with an 80% reduction in crash-related fc damage through systematic testing and design optimization.

matrix 5in1 ii flight controller

• 3-point mounting system creates cushioning space during impacts
• 1.0mm thickened pcb for enhanced structural integrity
• optimized component layout for crash resilience
• 12a continuous esc (18a peak) for demanding power requirements

crash test results

systematic testing with 20 horizontal wall crashes at 5m distance showed:

• air65 (4 grommets): 100% fc failure rate
• air65 (3 grommets): 20% fc failure rate
• air65 ii (3 grommets): 0% fc failure rate
