The last time hydrogen-loaded flying vessels hurdled around the sky didn’t end well enough; however, that isn’t preventing Heven Drones from powering up its H2D55 drone. The organization guarantees the octacopter can fly for more than 90 minutes, with a payload of 7 kg (15 lbs).
The robots are worked to spec and require two-three months to finish. The organization is a little cagey about the specific estimating, yet secretly a source inside the organization proposes that you could presumably purchase several Toyota Corollas at the cost of one of its robots. On the other hand, Corollas don’t fly, and why in the world would you need two, so we should return to drones.
The organization says the H2D55 is the principal in an arranged setup of three hydrogen-filled drones that will be delivered over the course of the following year, and that the models coming in the not-so-distant future will have extra flight time and payload limit.
“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,” said Bentzion Levinson, founder, and CEO of Heven Drones.
On the defense side, the company envisions more extensive surveillance missions and the supply of medical aid, food, and ammunition to soldiers.
“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 Levinson, “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.”
