HYCOPTER Hydrogen-powered Drone

The Hycopter is a hydrogen-powered multirotor UAV designed for long-endurance data collection and surveillance missions. With a flight endurance of up to 3 hours and multi-sensor capabilities, the quiet and highly reliable platform is ideal for infrastructure inspection, law enforcement, first responders and more.
