In short:

A mechanical heart has been implanted in a New South Wales man who was experiencing severe heart failure.

He has become the first person in the world to be discharged from hospital with the titanium heart.

What's next?

Doctors say the invention will likely be an alternative for donor heart transplants in the future.

You are completely correct. It's been a while since I was flying.

It's for an LR drone. What people use for pushing the range limits on a quad. The 25mW Walksnail challenge for example.

Well, kinda. They'd make their own from bulk cells, but you get the idea ๐Ÿ’›
