CLEAN DRONHY
Integrated system for the production, refueling, and utilization of hydrogen for powering a high-performance drone.
Description
The main objective of the project is to demonstrate the feasibility of an aircraft (drone) complete with a hydrogen production and refueling station required to operate the vehicle. The project aims to demonstrate the usability and ease of use of the developed vehicle, with improvements over battery-powered drones, especially in terms of aircraft charging time and operating procedures.
Result to be enhanced
Hydrogen driven quadro-copter drone with flight time of 1,5 hours.
Why is it important?
Monitoring geographical areas, supervision, agriculture, periodic inspections on lifting equipment.
