Skyeton Puts a Hydrogen-Powered Spin on the Raybird UAV

Skyeton is introducing a fresh take on the Raybird unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), adding a hydrogen fuel cell-powered electric motor for longer, quieter flights.

Unlike its internal combustion predecessor, the hydrogen-electric propulsion system keeps the drone airborne for roughly 12 hours, with engineers aiming to extend it to 20 hours.

The combination of low heat generation, high-altitude operation, and near-silent performance makes Raybird harder to detect during missions.
