Project Goals

To convert a battery powered uninhabited aerial vehicle into a fuel cell powered uninhabited aerial vehicle with an extended flight time.

Previous Accomplishments

Preliminary fuel cell research Airframe & Vehicle Subystems (propeller,

motor, etc.) research and selection Fuel Cell Demonstration Testing

Future Objectives

Battery powered airframe assembly, modification and testing

Purchasing and delivery of Fuel Cell Fuel Cell & Hydro-Stick Tests Fuel Cell integration Fuel Cell powered UAV modification and

testing

Summary

On track to achieving battery powered flight with our selected airframe by Spring Break

Need to expedite airframe assembly and testing so fuel cell can be ordered as soon as possibleFunding for the fuel cell (from Mechflutech

LLC) must be available by the time we are ready to order
