THE WORLD'S FIRST Hydrogen Powered

DRONE

HYDRONE 1550--PRODUCED BY MICROMULTICOPTER AERO TECHNOLOGY CO.LTD (MMC)

INTRODUCTIONHyDrone 1550, designed and manufactured by MMC, is the first commercial and ready-for-market hydrogen powered drone in the world. The emerging fuel cell technology is environmentally clean and contributes to supreme flight performances, which redefines the meaning of commercial drones. With actualization of the highly efficient hydrogen energy, the drone industry will live through radical changes. Since hydrogen as a fuel is not affected by low temperatures, a new set of applications will emerge. Its longevity and capacity of reaching great distances will improve the efficiency of current solutions.

CASE STUDY The Oil inspeciton solution is based on hydrogen-powered UAVs to carry out inspection tasks. Using the latest hydrogen fuel cells to create energy where with a larger payload the vehicle will remain 1 to 2 hours airborne. The energy from the fuel cell comes from a chemical reaction of hydrogen and oxygen thus now creating any combustion creating zero risk in oil pipeline inspection.
