Wingcopter Teams Up to Develop Hydrogen-Powered Delivery Drones
Wingcopter, a German drone manufacturer, is teaming up with the Hamburg Center for Applied Aerospace Research (ZAL) to develop a hydrogen-powered solution for its innovative delivery drones. The collaboration aims to enhance flight duration and sustainability.
Wingcopter, based in Weiterstadt, Hesse, has created a unique drone design that combines swiveling rotors with wings for efficient and robust flight. Now, the company is working with ZAL to convert its drones to hydrogen power, a move that aligns with ZAL's mission to promote sustainable aviation, including Urban Air Mobility and drone deliveries.
The development partnership seeks to maintain the characteristic flight capabilities of the Wingcopter while increasing flight duration. This could significantly boost the drones' range, enabling them to reach even more remote targets. Green hydrogen, as a clean energy source, would power these emission-free drones, making deliveries more sustainable and efficient.
Wingcopter and ZAL are committed to this innovative project, with the goal of increasing flight duration and range for Wingcopter's delivery drones. Successful implementation could revolutionize remote deliveries, making them more environmentally friendly and efficient.
