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 Hybrid-Airplane Technology H-Aero (styled as H-AERO) is a small German hybrid electric unmanned aerial vehicle [1] UAV by a Baden-Baden based start-up Hybrid-Airplane Technology GmbH. [2] Compared to some other UAVs it features vertical take-off and landing and extended flight endurance.
MiniBe (flying wing for mapping, could be modified as a loitering munition), RayBe (tilt-rotor mapping drone), Iris (multipurpose quadrotor for inspection, cargo and surveillance), and OmniBe (hybrid fixed-wing VTOL for wide area surveillance), made by Bentara Tabang Nusantara (BETA UAS), a drone startup based in Bandung [118]
Small drones avoid the need for precise coordination between pilot and cameraman, with the same person taking on both roles. Big drones with professional cine cameras usually have a drone pilot and a camera operator who controls camera angle and lens. For example, the AERIGON cinema drone, used in film production, is operated by two people.
In the future full-scale version, power will be generated by two 6 kW (8 hp) diesel engines which will charge lithium-ion batteries. The propellers on the leading edge of the wing provide high speed flow, and thus lift, on the wing even in low forward velocity flight allowing pitch, roll, and yaw control authority during the critical transition ...
Electra.aero uses a hybrid powertrain as lithium-ion batteries pack not enough energy, only 170 Wh/kg in the Pipistrel Velis Electro in 2020, approaching 235 Wh/kg at the pack level for 2025. [2] The Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) has launched the Propel-1K program to demonstrate a 1,000 Wh/kg (1,600 kJ/lb) cell by mid-2025.
An autonomous aircraft is an aircraft which flies under the control of on-board autonomous robotic systems and needs no intervention from a human pilot or remote control.Most contemporary autonomous aircraft are unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) with pre-programmed algorithms to perform designated tasks, but advancements in artificial intelligence technologies (e.g. machine learning) mean that ...
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]
