Ordinary drones are powered only by electricity using chargers, but even professional commercial drones have a continuous flight time of over an hour. The short continuous flight time is a challenge for drones. The HYBRiX 2.1, a multicopter-type drone released by drone manufacturer Quaternium, has set the world’s longest continuous flight time of drones by recording 10 hours and 14 minutes of flying in the air. It recorded a flight time 10 times that of a fully electric powered drone.
Hybrix 2.1 is a drone jointly developed with Löweheiser, an unmanned aerial vehicle engine manufacturer. The size including propeller is 1630×913×510mm. The white tank located in the center of the front of the body holds 95 octane gasoline fuel. Remove the top cover, turn on the power, and close the cover.
The Hybrid 2.1 can fly at a maximum takeoff weight of 25 kg and a speed of 50 km/h, with a top speed of 80 km/h. Thanks to the successful miniaturization of gasoline engine parts, it is possible to fly 2 to 4 hours with a large remaining amount of gasoline and battery, greatly improving flight time compared to existing drones.
This product is equipped with a two-stroke engine and battery. To challenge the world record for continuous flight time, the fuel tank was equipped with a 16-liter tank. The test, which started at 8:20 am, set the world record for a landing at 18:34 and a continuous flight of 10 hours and 14 minutes.
Existing drones have a continuous flight time of about 1 hour, so they are not suitable for long-term missions, and it has been considered difficult for long-time shooting, long-distance cargo transportation, and agricultural applications. However, this product, which achieved more than 10 hours of continuous flight time, can solve the mission that was considered impossible until now. In addition, the installed camera video can be transmitted up to a radius of 6 km, so it can be expected to serve as a security system. Related information can be found here .
