Long-endurance Fuel Cell UAV 2026/09/29

Introductions

Limited flight endurance and payload capacity remain critical bottlenecks for conventional electric UAVs. By integrating fuel cell technology, this solution delivers three times the endurance of equivalent-weight lithium batteries. This high-energy, zero-emission power system significantly enhances payload capability and unlocks new possibilities for professional UAV applications.

Technical Advantages and Features

• Lightweight High-Power Stack: Integrates lightweight stacks with control modules for streamlined performance, optimizes thermal management via low-power fans and advanced cooling logic, and incorporates airframe-integrated design to minimize overall UAV weight.
• High-Efficiency Hybrid Power Design: Achieves 99% total system output efficiency by minimizing power conversion losses and ensures seamless power switching between fuel cells and lithium batteries for uninterrupted operation.
• Dynamic Multi-module Stack Control: Masters proprietary system logic, firmware, and PCB design for autonomous control, synchronizes fuel cell power output with the dynamic power demands of the UAV, and provides stable long-duration power to ensure reliability across various flight maneuvers.

Industrial Applications and Business Opportunities

• Industry Applications
  • UAVs, light electric scooters, and emergency backup power systems.
• Application Examples
  • Mountainous Emergency Logistics: A fuel cell helicopter successfully delivered medical supplies from Qingye Farm to Xinda Cabin at 3,200 m altitude. The 18-minute flight replaced a 6-hour mountain trek, demonstrating efficiency in high-altitude rescue missions.
  • Over-water Medical Delivery: Completed an 88 km round-trip mission from Tainan Beimen to Penghu Dongji Island for rapid COVID-19 test kit delivery and aerial drops.
  • Long-Endurance Telecommunications: Partnered with TTC to develop the first high-altitude communication balloon with a 10-day power supply, and is advancing high-payload communication relay UAVs to ensure critical network connectivity during natural disasters.
