Redefining Performance

In Rally Flight, speed alone does not define performance.
EcoSpeed is the balance between velocity, efficiency, endurance, and decision-making.

The goal is not to be the fastest — but to be the most efficient over the entire course.

What EcoSpeed Means

• Optimizing cruise speed instead of maximum throttle
• Managing fuel or battery consumption intelligently
• Using weather, wind, and terrain to your advantage
• Minimizing unnecessary altitude changes
• Maintaining consistency over long distances

Every decision has a cost — EcoSpeed is about minimizing that cost.

Why Raw Speed Is Not Enough

Flying at maximum speed:

• Increases consumption
• Reduces endurance
• Amplifies small mistakes
• Leaves less margin for changing conditions

EcoSpeed rewards pilots who think ahead and fly with intention.

How EcoSpeed Is Evaluated

Depending on category and task structure:

• Distance covered versus energy used
• Time efficiency within defined windows
• Smoothness and consistency of flight
• Strategic choices throughout the stage

This approach levels the field and highlights true flight mastery.

Elite vs Challenge Context

• Challenge pilots focus on sustainable long-range flight and smart pacing
• Elite pilots integrate EcoSpeed into competitive scoring and task execution

In both cases, efficiency is a decisive advantage.

More Than a Metric — A Mindset

EcoSpeed reflects the spirit of Rally Flight:

• Respect for machines
• Respect for conditions
• Respect for the sky

Flying smarter is flying further.
