The Design
About Hydrone Xc05 Vehículo Aéreo Non Tripulado
Hydrone Xc05 é un vehículo aéreo non tripulado propulsado por hidróxeno, deseñado para voos de longa duración. A aeronave voa máis de 100 quilómetros máis alá da liña de visión directa e permanece no aire durante 3 horas. A tecnoloxía adaptativa de temperaturas ultra baixas permite un funcionamento fiable ata os 40 graos Celsius baixo cero. Unha pila de combustible de tipo caixón pode desmontarse e substituírse en 5 segundos, e o sistema de enerxía alterna entre os modos de hidróxeno e eléctrico. A estrutura de fibra de carbono está aerodinamizada para reducir a resistencia, mentres que os brazos pregables e o tren de aterraxe reducen o volume de almacenamento.

- Unique Properties
- The hydrogen powered unmanned aerial vehicle offers long endurance, beyond visual line of sight operations, and extreme cold resilience. It flies more than 100 km beyond visual line of sight and works for 3 hours. Using ultra low temperature adaptive technology, it operates reliably down to minus 40 degrees Celsius. As the first system of its kind in the world to combine a quick detachable fuel cell with seamless switching between hydrogen and electric modes, it covers diverse complex scenarios.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- product dimensions, 1360 mm x 1300 mm x 750 mm
- Tags
- hydrogen powered unmanned aerial vehicle, long endurance, beyond visual line of sight operations, extreme cold resilience, hybrid hydrogen and electric power system, drawer style quick detachable fuel cell, autonomous environment adaptive navigation, aviation AI large model, zero carbon flight
- Production Technology
- Its seamless carbon fiber airframe is enhanced with an aerodynamic, streamlined profile to minimize drag and enhance flight stability while creating a clean, harmonious appearance. Internally, core modules are meticulously arranged to maximize structural compactness. Its foldable arms and landing gear reduce the storage volume by 70 percent, tripling deployment and transport efficiency. The result is a seamless fusion of practical engineering and modern industrial elegance.
- Design Challenge
- The challenge was to overcome dual constraints of endurance and environmental adaptability. Using hydrogen, this product surpasses the endurance of lithium powered systems, supporting 3 hours of flight and beyond visual line of sight operations over 100 km, ideal for demanding logistics and inspection. Its ultra low temperature adaptive technology ensures stable performance down to minus 40 degrees Celsius, enabling missions in harsh environments like polar regions and high altitude plateaus.
- Research
- It overcomes traditional limitations in endurance, cold resilience, and intelligence. Powered by hydrogen, it flies more than 100 km beyond visual line of sight and lasts for 3 hours. Ultra low temperature adaptive technology ensures reliability down to minus 40 degrees Celsius. Its aviation AI large model works with laser and visual fusion navigation for autonomous performance with higher efficiency and precision, without relying on manual control or satellite signals.
- Inspiration
- Unmanned aerial vehicles are now vital across industries, but traditional battery powered models are limited in endurance and cold weather performance. Hydrogen powered models extend flight time yet require high maintenance and lack flexibility. This product solves these problems, supporting 3 hours of flight and beyond visual line of sight operations over 100 km. It also features autonomous environment adaptive navigation and a quick detachable fuel cell for efficient, smart, safe performance.
- Project Duration
- The design and development of this project began in Shaoxing in 2023, with the first version launched in June 2023 and an upgraded version released in June 2025.
- Operation Flow
- It boasts the first drawer style quick detachable fuel cell of its kind in the world, enabling a swap in 5 seconds. It also supports seamless switching between hydrogen and electric modes for both long endurance and high payload capacity.
Its aviation AI large model works with laser and visual fusion navigation technology to deliver humanoid visual perception for autonomous navigation, obstacle avoidance, and intelligent coordination, operating beyond visual line of sight without manual effort. - Team Members
