The Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS) has flown a UAV powered by a hydrogen fuel cell for the first time, in a flight lasting 80 minutes.
The UAV – called White Condor – has a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) developed by Cheolnam Yang, a senior researcher at KIMS.
Yang has been researching fuel cells for the past 15 years and for the past four has been integrating them into UAVs, with his work funded by the Kyeongnam local government.
White Condor’s fuel cells contain three litres of hydrogen at 300hPa giving a power output of 600W.
