Hybrid power allows drones to fly further
2023-08-31 19:00When it comes to drones, what is the first thing that comes to mind? High-tech that can take off without a driver, an aerial camera that can take aerial photography, or an artifact that can be widely used in various industries. In fact, no matter what identity a drone has in everyone's eyes or type of tasks it can complete, the most important thing is its flight time. You can think about it, no matter how comprehensive a drone is, if it can only fly for a few minutes, it will not be able to fully demonstrate its many abilities. Therefore, in order to extend the flight duration of drones and enable them to better adapt to the development needs of various industries, various drone companies have also been conducting research on extending the flight duration of drones.
At the beginning, most drones were of the traditional electric or oil-powered type. Although the supply of oil power can last for a period of time, it consumes a large amount of oil, is expensive, and has relatively low stability. There is also an electric drone. Electric drones can fly as long as the battery is installed, but further adjustments are needed in terms of battery life and safety performance. Therefore, in order to continuously optimize the functions of drones and meet the needs of growing development needs, designers combined two power sources to develop hybrid drone aircraft to solve the problems of insufficient endurance, stability, and safety of drones. various issues.
Regarding hybrid drone aircraft, its core technology is the intelligent utilization of fuel power and electric power. The fuel power system of the drone adopts efficient combustion technology, which can help the drone provide strong power output to ensure that the drone can fly for a long time and increase the overall load capacity of the drone. The electric power system of the drone provides a relatively stable operating environment for the drone, and its low noise and zero emission characteristics making it more environmentally friendly. The combination of fuel power and electric power can make the UAV have a longer route in a safe and stable state, and can extend its flight time.
Hybrid drone aircraft are also widely used. They can fly farther and have a series of innovative technologies. Take the 180kg Oil Powered Vertical Lift Fixed Wing (VTOL) UAV developed by our company as an example. It is not only equipped with an advanced autonomous flight system, but also can realize autonomous take-off and landing, cruise, and obstacle avoidance, which greatly improves the safety performance of the UAV. It can also effectively load heavy equipment and be used in many situations. In addition, this 180kg Oil Powered Vertical Lift Fixed Wing (VTOL) UAV is also equipped with a data sensing system that can collect and transmit data in real time. The operator can remotely control the UAV, which can effectively reduce human resources. utilization.
The advent of hybrid drone aircraft not only marks that human needs can promote the development of science and technology, but also marks a breakthrough in the field of drone technology. I believe that after reading this article, everyone will know more about drones. I also hope everyone can pay more attention to drones and promote continuous breakthroughs in drone technology.
