The first fuel cell multirotor UAV

In the past two years, drones have begun to spread from the military to civilian markets, and drones with longer battery life and more power have emerged. Now, domestic drone manufacturer Corbett officially announces the world's first hydrogen-powered multi-rotor industrial-grade drone, HYDrone-1800, which has a long battery life, and is mainly used for power, petrochemical, security, and fire protection. Corbett Aerospace introduced that the HYDrone-1800 has a battery life of up to 273 minutes using a mature and stable hydrogen fuel cell.

In addition, the HYDrone-1800 fuselage follows the all-carbon fiber molding design, which can realize three industrial defenses (fire protection, rain protection, and dust prevention). It can still operate normally in rain, snow, cold, high-temperature fires and other complex environments.

At the same time, while solving the problem of aviation time, Corbett has also solved the problem of ultra-long-distance image transmission, over-the-horizon remote control, precise positioning and navigation of industrial-grade drones during operations, and has rapidly achieved technological productization. .

In addition, Corbett has also issued a 24/7 operation to moor the drone technology: the UAV is powered directly from a fixed ground device or on-board power through a cable, enabling uninterrupted operation of the drone for a long period of time. The machine has achieved continuous operation for 54 hours.

According to the developers, although the emergency maneuverability of the captive drone technology is not as good as that of an ordinary multi-rotor UAV, it is possible to continue operations throughout the day in scenarios such as large-scale event security sites, key transport hubs during spring transport, and prison monitoring. In the event of an emergency, it can be discovered and responded to in a timely manner.
