And why looking it up gives you two different answers.
A manufacturer's maximum wind resistance is a product specification, not automatically a routine operating recommendation. Testing, wording and published units vary by aircraft. Read the exact aircraft manual, consider gusts and the return leg, then set a separate operating margin for the mission.
For the DJI Mini 2, DJI publishes 8.5 to 10.5 m/s and labels it Scale 5. That is the complete manufacturer specification, not permission to pick either endpoint as a recommended limit.
Collapsing a band to one number hides information. Flywhen preserves the published band and applies a separate, explicit margin instead of relabeling one endpoint as the manufacturer's recommendation.
For the DJI Mini 2, the aircraft operating range starts at 0 C, while the remote controller range starts at -10 C. The first temperature in a long specification page may describe the controller rather than the aircraft.
This is worth checking before a cold-weather flight because controller and aircraft ranges can differ, while battery charging and storage guidance may use separate limits again.
Autel's current EVO Nano product specifications list 7.9 m/s for takeoff and landing. Its Nano FAQ lists Level 5 at 8.5 to 10.5 m/s, while the V3.0.9 manual says Fresh breeze. Flywhen uses the lower explicit takeoff and landing figure and shows the discrepancy.
For EVO Lite, the V3.1.1 manual lists 10.7 m/s. An earlier V3.0.9 manual says Fresh breeze, while the current FAQ says Class 7 at 14 to 16.5 m/s. Flywhen uses the lower explicit current manual figure and exposes the conflicting source labels.
| Aircraft | Published | What it actually is |
|---|---|---|
| DJI Mini 2 | 8.5 to 10.5 m/s | DJI publishes the complete Scale 5 band. |
| DJI Mini 2 SE | 10.7 m/s | DJI publishes one maximum wind speed resistance figure and a 0 C aircraft floor. |
| DJI Mini 3 | 10.7 m/s | DJI publishes one maximum wind speed resistance figure labeled Level 5. |
| Autel EVO Nano+ | 7.9 m/s | Lower explicit takeoff and landing figure. FAQ and manual wording differ. |
| Autel EVO Lite | 10.7 m/s | Latest manual figure. Current FAQ lists a higher Class 7 band. |
These rows were checked against the linked manufacturer sources on 27 August 2026. Specifications and manuals can change, so check the current document for your exact aircraft and firmware before flight.
An earlier version of this app listed the EVO Lite at 17.1 m/s. That number did not come from the Autel sources checked. It matches the upper end of one standard Beaufort 7 reference interval, but it was presented as if Autel had published it.
That is the failure mode to watch for in any specification table: a converted number quietly acquires a manufacturer's name. Flywhen now records the source wording and the exact explicit number used, without turning a class label into an attributed manufacturer figure.
