We sent a SwitchBlade-Pro to Eric Adams, a writer and drone expert, to review the SwitchBlade-Pro. We had no idea that it would be entered in the 27th annual Best of What’s New award. I’ve been reading Popular Science faithfully since I was a boy. To have the SwitchBlade-Pro featured in the magazine, much less to win a spot on the Best of What’s New, is an honor to say the least.

“Winners of Popular Science’s Best of What’s New Award tend to change what the future will look like. This year’s 100 honorees are no different: They are revolutionary in their respective fields.”

“We are thrilled to pay tribute to this year’s Best of What’s New awardees. From a plastic made by capturing otherwise-airborne carbon emissions to a reusable manned space capsule, these innovations are truly groundbreaking—and they’re poised to transform our lives.”
