Intelligent Energy and the ATI’s HEIGHTS programme launch the IE-FLIGHT 120 120 kW hydrogen fuel cell system, boosting heavy-lift UAV endurance, zero-emission flight and local jobs.
This month, Intelligent Energy Ltd and the Aerospace Technology Institute’s HEIGHTS programme kicked off an exciting new project: they’re rolling out the IE-FLIGHT 120, a 120 kW hydrogen fuel cell power system designed specifically for heavy-lift fixed-wing UAVs. This collaboration is perfectly timed with the UK Government’s impressive £5 billion Defence Investment Plan for drones and autonomous systems. Their goal? To tackle real-world challenges in defence, security, and logistics by giving unmanned aircraft the power they need to go the distance, all while keeping emissions at zero and turnaround times quick.
