Hexacopter flight times over an hour should soon become possible. Chinese drone manufacturer Walkera has decided to go beyond the battery, teaming up with micro-generator producers at GenSmart to build a new hybrid powertrain for its QR X900 professional heavy lifter. A tiny, efficient methanol motor charges the battery during flight, allowing long flight times and instant refueling and it …
Last May, we heard about how Horizon Energy Systems was developing ahydrogen-powered quadcopter that could (hopefully) stay airborne for hours at a time. Soon, however, that drone may not be the only one doing so. That’s because Intelligent Energy has unveiled a fuel cell/battery range extender that could become standard equipment on third-party drones.
When people suggest possible uses for electric multicopter drones, it frequently seems like they’re forgetting something – presently, most such aircraft can only fly for a maximum of around 25 minutes per battery charge. Horizon Energy Systems, however, is developing a quadcopter that should do a lot better. Known as the Hycopter, the fuel cell-powered drone is hoped to be …

Camera-carrying hobby drones are now large and sophisticated enough to allow anyone to take stills and videos that once would have required a helicopter. Unfortunately, that capability is marred when the drone’s landing gear keeps getting in the way or when getting that video of a mountain glen means trekking in with an unwieldy flying machine.Yuneec International‘s Typhoon H hexacopter …
