Enabling Long Endurance Electric UAV Flights with Ultra-Light Structures and Fuel Cell Power Solutions

Abstract

The potential benefits afforded by fuel cell technologies in unmanned aerial vehicles are being readied for commercialization by leading UAV developers around the world. Horizon Energy Systems (HES) in Singapore are working to develop the next generation ultra-light fuel cell systems combined with novel hydrogen-on-demand generation system and advanced lightweight material developed by STK.
