According to EnergyOr Technologies President and CEO Michel Bitton, the company's PEM fuel cell recently demonstrated a long endurance flight of more than 10 hours with its fuel cell powered, operational unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). "The aircraft, FAUCON H2, complete with integrated avionics, executed a predetermined flight plan for 10 hours and 4 minutes, then landed autonomously... in Drummond-ville, Quebec, Canada." "The integrated hybrid UAV propulsion system was designed to take full advantage of fuel cells for their high energy density, and lithium polymer (LiPo) batteries to provide short bursts of power during take- off, climb and severe weather conditions.
