NEWS RELEASE
Intelligent Energy makes two exciting industry announcements at
InterDrone 2017 Conference
-- Intelligent Energy launches its game changing lightweight
650W fuel cell power module for the commercial UAV market
-- Strategic partnership announced with US UAV manufacturer to bring an endurance UAV to market
InterDrone 2017, Las Vegas, US - Wednesday 6 September
Intelligent Energy today announced it is entering into a
strategic integration partnership with US UAV manufacturer
FlightWave Aerospace. The partnership will enable FlightWave to
integrate Intelligent Energy's innovative lightweight 650W fuel
cell power module into their UAV product range within North
America.
The first product from this partnership will be FlightWave's
'Jupiter-H2', a multi-rotor, endurance UAV capable of flying for up
to two hours. The 'Jupiter-H2' UAV will be powered by Intelligent
Energy's market leading, lightweight, air cooled fuel cell
technology. The two companies will be unveiling the new
'Jupiter-H2' UAV at InterDrone in Las Vegas this week (6-8
September).
As well as jointly unveiling the 'Jupiter-H2', Intelligent
Energy is excited to be launching its own proprietary lightweight
650W fuel cell module that has been purposely designed for the UAV
market. It offers significantly longer flight times compared to
traditional battery power. Key benefits for the end user include
increased productivity and less downtime owing to quick refuelling
and increased payload capability, meaning the UAV can fly longer,
fly further and achieve more. The lightweight 650W fuel cell module
is available now for order.
The 650W module runs on hydrogen and ambient air to produce
clean power in a simple, cost effective, robust and lightweight
package. It is scalable and can be integrated into UAV platforms
without compromising payload placement, providing an optimised
operational solution for a wide range of industries.
Intelligent Energy's 650W fuel cell module will be used to power
the Jupiter-H2, which is the first UAV to be uniquely designed
around its technology. 'Jupiter-H2' is expected to be available
from January 2018 worldwide, and the two companies will work
together to market 'Jupiter-H2' across a variety of industries with
orders now being taken.
Julian Hughes, Senior VP of IE US Inc, said: "It's great to be
back at InterDrone launching this game changing product, just 12
months on from demonstrating a prototype. We are delighted to be
working with FlightWave, a company which shares our vision and
passion for creating innovative solutions to realise the full
potential of commercial UAVs."
"We view the Jupiter-H2 as an innovative vehicle," said
FlightWave CMO Edmund Cronin. "It's particularly well suited to use
cases requiring both long flight time and stable manoeuvrability in
narrow indoor or outdoor spaces - for example, in a very large but
cramped warehouse."
