Fuel Cell UAV - Flight Test 2

Rear force, Wing tip, taxi and full flight tests. The takeoff angle was much steeper than expected at full power, causing a stall and loss of control. Luckily Dustin was able to steer it towards some bushes so the aircraft only took minimal damage. The tail is being redesigned due to the damage.

hydrogen fuel cell or what?

[atrickpay0]

@tomanyasses Eventually, the hydrogen fuel cell was too expensive to risk breaking during initial testing. This is LiPo battery powered

need aprox 4.5 degrees of downthrust on motor for conventional configuration aircraft, and about 2.5 right, assuming you have a rh prop. the vertical stab area looked small, and should prob be increased. if you wish to eliminate80 percent of your aerodynamic issues, and increase flight duration by 40 percent, i can help with a couple of additional non-conventional ideas. you are on the right track with the fuel cell. don't give up. i have the perfect aircraft for a test bed. keep in touch.

i think there are like ten types of lithium batterys meaning different atoms for the material. i was hopeing to get the hydrogen battery that was not considered because of the lithium battery is better. i bought in a company that went broke, thought there sitll a chance to make hydrogen work when lithium becomes to expensive or shortage of supplies material. but seems so many are already thinking that.
