[QUOTE="suprPHREAK, post: 50539, member: 1505"] Generally, slower uses less power, but the drone is already using plenty of power to stay in in the air it wont matter much. What really benefits is when you are moving forward, you are avoiding aerodynamic turbulence from the props. When the blade spins, it creates a wake (just like a boat in water). If the following blade passes through that wake, it has to work harder to create the same lift. When the drone is moving forward quickly, each blade is biting into fresh new air, never hitting the wake. This is why DJI advertises 1 min greater flight time when you are moving, vs hovering.
