The main problem with battery-powered multicopters is that it is challenging to keep them airborne for 45 minutes with a 5 kg payload at an altitude of 4500 meters due to the thin air density. Additionally, it is practically impossible to fly for an hour during cold winters at a temperature of -10 degrees Celsius because the battery voltage drops sharply in such conditions.
The hybrid drone HC16H has been developed to overcome the limitations of flight time. It utilizes a powerful gasoline generator that provides constant and stable electrical power regardless of high or low temperatures or altitude. This allows for conducting inspections, search and rescue operations, and public safety tasks over long distances.
