IE-SOAR™ 2.4 is a lightweight hydrogen fuel cell module for fixed wing, rotary wing and VTOL UAV applications, where battery technology restricts flight time. The fuel cell technology runs on hydrogen and ambient air to produce clean DC power in a cost effective, robust and lightweight package. The fuel cells for drones have a higher energy to mass ratio than batteries, enabling UAVs to fly further for longer and achieve more.
The IE-SOAR 2.4 fuel cell modules for drones deliver clean power from 800W ;up to 2.4kW with the capability of systems working in parallel to reach higher power outputs. This power range allows us to target a wider range of applications such as mapping and LiDAR, to linear inspection and defence.
