Hydrogen Powered UAV

Researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology have been testing a new UAV powered by Hydrogen. The UAV has a twenty-two foot wingspan and is powered using only about 500 watts of power, generated by the hydrogen fuel cells.

“We are laying the groundwork in design development that others can use to develop hydrogen-powered aircraft,” explained Dimitri Mavris, ASDL director and Boeing Professor in Advanced Aerospace Systems Analysis in Georgia Tech’s School of Aerospace Engineering. “By documenting the technical challenges we’ve encountered – as well as our solutions – we provide a baseline for others to follow.”
