Almost all Quadcopters have a short flight time. According to DroneLifeStyle.com, it’s usually between 10-20 minutes. It is advised to carry an extra battery, or even several. Unfortunately, the recharging times range from 45-90 minutes. Looks like doing tricks and flips or changing altitude drains the battery because of the increase in power used on the motors.

Perhaps this new technology will give a new life to drones (quadcopters) by making them self-sustainable in terms of energy consumption and production.

Sustainability takes 3 aspects into consideration: Economical, Social, and Environmental. Inventing a glue and making the garment last 1000 washes makes sense environmentally, but think about the negative impact it has on the economies. Potentially, it will increase the unemployment related problems in many developing nations.

Garment companies can make the working situations better by implementing sustainable work practices.
Sustainable Apparel Coalition is an organization working on this approach. Not working is not any better than working in a potentially dangerous place, which could turn better in the near future. http://apparelcoalition.org/

You mean these workers need to be trained to handle machines? Perhaps thats going to be a huge challenge for the middle-age workers, who would have lived all their lives doing the craft work. Survival of the fittest!

While I appreciate the advances in technology to sew garments, I wonder how this will negatively impact the economies, which are thriving because of the garment business.
