H6 Hydrone

H6 Hydrone

The Carrier H6 Hydrone is our all-new hybrid electric drone powered by our hydrogen fuel cell.

The Carrier H6 Hydrone  is equipped with Intelligent Energy’s 2.4kw FCPM (fuel cell power module). The recommended payload is 3kg allowing for up to 2.5hrs of flight.  The max payload is 5kg allowing up to 1.5hrs of flight.

The Carrier H6 Hydrone can be configured to carry scientific grade sensors, such as multispectral cameras, professional DSLRs for cinematography, and LiDAR.  The H6 Hydrone provides hybrid flight times while maintaining the nearly silent operation of an electric platform.
