15-Hour Flight Time - MMC UAV Launches New Record-Breaking Hydrone
SHENZHEN, China, Sept. 21, 2019 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

flight time on September 17, 2019 in Germany during the InterGEO 2019, the 
world's largest geoinformation fair. It is a hydrogen-powered vertical take-off 
and landing drone with an integrated design and MMC-developed hydrogen fuel

15-Hour Flight Time for Enhanced Mission Efficiency

The highlight of Griflion H is the extended flight time thanks to its 
high-efficiency metal bipolar plate hydrogen fuel cell with a maximum hydrogen 
storage capacity of 27L. Its flight time reached a record-breaking 15 hours 
without payload and 10 hours with a 3kg payload while most drones in market 
merely have a maximum 2-hour flight time. In mapping practice, the mission is 
usually interrupted by multiple take-offs and landings in different spots and 
hence lower efficiency. The extended flight time of Griflion H greatly improves 
mission efficiency. Other features include convenient operation, high security, 
wide coverage, zero emissions and low noise. Coupled with different payloads, 
it provides solutions for global customers in areas like surveying and mapping, 
rescue, security & protection, border scouting and forest scouting.

Industrial-chain Products with Integrated Design

As one of the few companies capable of industrial chain integration and 
independent research and development, MMC UAV has developed its own hydrogen 
power system including hydrogen battery, hydrogen cylinder, pressure reducing 
valve, hydrogen compressor, and hydrogen generator.

MMC UAV launched the world's first hydrogen-powered multirotor -- HyDrone 1800 
with 273-minute flight time back in 2016. Griflion H has undergone overall 
upgrades and now has an established hydrogen fuel system that broke its own 
flight time record. The integrated design tightens the connection among drone, 
fuel cell and payload.
