PROJECT INFORMATION

DESCRIPTION

The objective of this project is the design, construction and control of a hybrid propulsion system that will substantially extend the flight range of fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The HYDRONE project seeks the hybridization of PEM-type hydrogen cells with current Li-Po batteries, commonly used in the electric motors used in micro and mini UAVs.
