Horizon Fuel Cells Unveils Aeropak

Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies have unveiled their new AEROPAK fuel cell power system for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), which they claim will increase the flight endurance of UAV by as much as 300 percent.

Starting evaluation shipments this summer, Horizon claim an improvement over today's best available battery systems. Designed for high-impact and able to operate at up to 22,000 feet (6500m), the complete system integrates Horizon’s fuel cell technology with new refillable dry-fuel cartridges. The unit stores 900Wh of usable electrical energy and weighs 4.4 lbs (2kg). The miniaturized power system makes it easy to use as drop-in replacement for battery packs currently in service, eliminating costly airframe modifications.

Horizon’s AEROPAK is the first of a series of commercially available fuel cell systems that can be customized to fit a variety of platforms and scaled up to provide as much as several kilowatts of power, making it suitable for all sizes and configurations of electric powered UAS.
