MangabHy project
Collaborative project with Delair, IAE Supaero, Pragma Industrie and Hycco around the development of long-distance drones, powered by hydrogen fuel cells.

Hycco has successfully completed its mission : Delair‘s hydrogen-powered DT 46 VTOL drone, developed in partnership with ISAE Supaero for enhanced aerodynamics, now operate with a Pragma fuel cell stack that is 66% lighter (while maintaining equal performances) thanks to our cutting-edge carbon fiber bipolar plates technology.

Features

  • 8- 12 hours autonomy
  • 4 kg payload
  • 1.3kW stack

Results

  • Same performances as graphite stack
  • 66% mass gain at cell level
  • 24% mass gain at system level
  • Complete redesign of the stack
  • +25% payload possible
