HevenDrones Launches Hydrogen-Powered Drone
HevenDrones has launched its first hydrogen-powered
drone for commercial use, the H2D55. With 5-times greater energy efficiency
than traditional lithium battery-powered drones, the H2D55 is capable of flying
for 100 minutes with a payload capacity of 7kg.
The launch of HevenDrones’ hydrogen product line
addresses the challenge of flight endurance and payload capacity associated
with lithium battery-powered drones as well as the long term environmental
impact linked to lithium mining. Without the need to frequently replace
batteries, hydrogen fuel cells will also lower long term ownership costs for
organizations implementing drone technology at scale.
The H2D55 is the first in a planned lineup of 3
Hydrogen fueled drones that will be released over the next 9 months. The additional
models will have increased payload capacity while preserving the longer flight
endurance.
HevenDrones has designed its carbon neutral H2D
product-line to be fully customizable to the unique goals of its commercial and
defense clients. Commercial use case examples range from last-mile and
just-in-time (JIT) delivery, measuring the nutrient levels of soil and
precision crop spraying to collecting risk-assessment data for construction
companies, surveying real estate for reforestation projects and aiding
emergency responders in risk assessment and delivery of life saving equipment.
Defense use cases include more extensive surveillance missions and supplying
larger quantities of medical aid, food and ammunition to soldiers.
In addition to being lightweight, the H2D55 is
programmed with a control system that contains multiple gyroscopes and
supporting algorithms to significantly extend the operating limits of stable
flight.
“We are
delighted to bring hydrogen-powered drones to the global market and we are
excited to see the expanding range of use-cases across numerous industries,”
said Bentzion Levinson, Founder & CEO of HevenDrones. “Not only do
actionable drones add immense value to key areas of our economy and society,
but we are working to ensure that this value is compounded by reduced carbon
emissions and general energy efficiency by using hydrogen. The H2D55 is our
first step towards achieving this vision.”
