Tyler Kacereks insight:
The longest liquid hydrogen fueled drone flight. It is unclear whether or not the drone was carrying the fuel or if it was on the ground from the pictures. Still an amazing feat with only 390 grams of liquid hydrogen for 10 hours 50 minutes.

![]() The advantages of hydrogen fuel cells as a UAS power source were recently demonstrated when a 44-pound drone carried an 11-pound payload nonstop for 70 minutes, a new industry benchmark. The project is supported by Innovate UK.

This article was great because I found out the basics of the hydrogen fuel cell. The flight time and payload were amazing with the 6 liter hydrogen cylinder at around 4300 psi. |
