Calculate accurate flight times for your drone based on real-world conditions including wind, temperature, altitude, and terrain.
Drone Database / Comparison
Side-by-side specifications plus modelled flight time for both drones under three identical condition sets, computed with the same physics engine that powers the flight calculator.

| Conditions | DJI Flip | DJI Neo | Advantage |
|---|---|---|---|
Calm & mild 20 °C, 5 mph wind, sea level | 15 min | 21 min | DJI Neo +6 min |
Windy day 15 °C, 18 mph wind, sea level | 13 min | 18 min | DJI Neo +5 min |
Cold & high altitude -5 °C, 12 mph wind, 5,000 ft elevation | 13 min | 18 min | DJI Neo +5 min |
Minutes are modelled by the site's physics engine (ISA air density at the scenario elevation, boundary-layer turbulence at a representative 400 ft AGL cruise, battery temperature efficiency) from the manufacturer baseline for each drone — see the methodology.
DJI Neo delivers the longer modelled flight time in all 3 scenarios. Beyond endurance, DJI Neo is the lighter airframe (135 g vs 245 g), DJI Neo is the lower-cost option, DJI Neo transmits farther, DJI Flip carries the higher manufacturer wind limit. These are physics-model estimates from identical conditions — not guarantees. Open the flight calculator to model your own wind, temperature and altitude before flying.
