Innovation

A lightweight high energy density (400 W-h/kg) on-board power source that enables vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) type aircraft to have potentially extended flight time (12 hours) and increased payload.

Objective 

Our approach is to hybridize advanced fuel cells, modern batteries and high-power density capacitors to maximize the on-board power density and to extend the flight time ofthe UASs. Our hybrid power system utilizes fuel cell to provide a...
