Hybrid Drone Can Carry Weight and Last Almost 4 Hours Flying

Today we all know that drones can have many different uses. Many companies and companies use them to do different tasks in which a human being would take longer to do it, so in this way they save time and money . However, one of the problems that these small aircraft present is their battery , since they do not have much autonomy and they drain quickly. But these inconveniences could come to an end as an American company has created a type of drone whose battery can last up to almost 4 hours.

With the name HAMR , this drone works thanks to a hybrid gas and electricity system , which allows it to push the limits when it comes to battery life.

Your hybrid system, the key

In its structure, this ship has a 35 horsepower gasoline engine that is controlled by a system that is responsible for injecting electronic fuel, driving a generator that the drone has.

This generator is in charge of giving life to the six electric motors that the aircraft has, in addition to charging its battery. In the hypothetical case that one of the engines fails and a collision could occur, this battery that has stored energy would be used to make an emergency landing.

Battery life is up to three and a half hours. It can hold a total of 3 liters of fuel inside, although if the drone is carrying weight this figure may drop.

It can carry a maximum of almost three kilos of load approximately, having two different spaces for this task. In case one of those two spaces is left free, it can be used as a second gasoline unit to have more in addition to the 3 liters that it would already carry.

Can perform different tasks

What is the infrastructure of the drone itself weighs 14 and a half kilos . As for its dimensions, it measures 1.7 meters long and 3.3 wide . It can reach speeds close to 50 kilometers per hour.

In addition, different accessories can be incorporated to take advantage of its functions, such as a high-resolution camera, which allows you to capture spectacular aerial panoramas.

Therefore, this drone could be used for reconnaissance tasks , package delivery or study of different natural environments, since its battery allows it to maintain the flight for a long period of time compared to other drones already developed.

We will see if more companies apply this technique in drones to increase the life of their battery.
