Description: Hydra is a British UAV technology business founded in October 2019 to reinvent heavy lift UAV’s and pioneer the hybrid Jet-Electric concept. Our unparalleled lift capacity, speed and range allow for deployment in any industry sector.
Founded by a team of Aeronautical Engineers, Hydra combines the latest in UAS technology, with cutting edge micro jet turbines to push the limits on Payload and Range, whilst maintaining a compact footprint. Hydra makes use of advanced artificial intelligence to enable BVLOS flight capability.
Hybrid Gas Turbine-Electric Drone Hydra is a patented heavy lift drone, where the primary novelty is a combined (hybrid) thrust concept, comprising of a rotor system, augmented by jet turbines for heavy lifting.
There are many potential applications for a drone which has the capacity to rapidly lift, deploy and extract payloads up to 100 kg, a distance of up to 8 km, within 10 mins.
