STORYLINE:

An industrial-grade Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) adapted with a hydrogen hybrid power supply system achieved successful test flights.
This UAV was independently developed by a team led by a researcher in China's Dalian, featuring high efficiency, high reliability, and long battery life.
Experts say that this power supply system can extend the endurance of drones to two hours.

The fuel cell coupling system we developed has the advantage of compensating for the shortcomings of lithium-ion batteries. The system has the advantages of long endurance and quick refueling, and it also has the fast dynamic response just like that of lithium-ion batteries. This means that it can meet the endurance requirements of drones and low-altitude aircraft, including "flying cars."
