A Hybrid drone is a type of unmanned aerial vehicle using two or more energy sources to power its flight propulsion system.. UAV systems often use brushless DC electric motors as means of propulsion due to their high efficiency and great controllability, their main energy source is usually a LiPo battery with targets for battery packs for electric vehicles of 235 Wh/kg and 500 Wh/L in 2020.
The 70 mph (110 km/h) hybrid electric has a 200-hp gasoline generator giving up to 70 mi (110 km) range over 1 hour. [1] It has four propeller arms, each with two electric contra-rotating propellers powered by a gas turbine or piston engine generator along with a battery pack.
The General Atomics MQ-9 Reaper (sometimes called Predator B) is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV, one component of an unmanned aircraft system (UAS)) capable of remotely controlled or autonomous flight operations, developed by General Atomics Aeronautical Systems (GA-ASI) primarily for the United States Air Force (USAF).
