You're getting downvoted because your complaint makes it seem like this is a problem with the particular model. 23 minutes is probably even above average for drone flight times. Don't be so kneejerk negative.

Sounds like youre using the wrong tool for the task at hand. However, it also sounds like you've never personally experienced the ~23 minutes of flight time and the amount of ground that can be covered. It's way more impressive than you are dismissing.

>... say, search and rescue operations.

Oh good grief. If that is the use case, you get something designed for that.

That's incredible, it's almost as if it's not optimized for search and rescue.
