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 WingtraOne has a flying wing configuration; the drone has an endurance of 55 minutes, power being provided by an eight-cell lithium-ion battery to two electric motors. [12] A tail-sitter, the aircraft takes off vertically while being supported by wing and tail fins, and once in flight, it tilts forward to fly horizontally. [3]

The wing has eight electric motor-driven propellers, while the horizontal stabilizer has two. In the future full-scale version, power will be generated by two 6 kW (8 hp) diesel engines which will charge lithium-ion batteries.
Destinus claims that it is an autonomous UAV, that it requires low maintenance, and that it is a cheaper air-defence solution against drones than traditional solutions. It has a configuration comparable to the IAI Harop. The intended uses include surveillance, intelligence, 3D mapping, training, data relay and drone interception. Destinus D [30 ...
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 French reconnaissance drone program began in 1995 with the purchase of four RQ-5 Hunter UAVs. The French military doctrine differentiates between contact drones with a range of up to 20 km and tactical drones with a range of 20 to 200 km; and so-called "theater drones" with ranges of 200 to 1000 km.
The AgustaWestland Project Zero is a hybrid tiltrotor/Lift fan aircraft. It has been developed by AgustaWestland as a technology demonstrator, and is used to investigate all-electric propulsion and other advanced technologies. It is the world's first electric tiltrotor aircraft. [1]
