Hydrogen Fuel Cell R/C Heli

[Sk8ergrl]

Not sure if this has been raised but I've found a rc heli that is powered via hydrogen fuel cells and can last over 20 mins . It means that we can ditch lipo's and go with these when they become cheap lol plus they are looking into extending times to maybe days per charge.

Here is the link about the heli First Hydrogen Fuel Cell Helicopter Completes Successful Flight - Hydrogen Energy - Zimbio

And a video clip of the heli in action

Seeing how the technology of RC heli's in the last five years has advanced it will be very interesting to see how the next five will develop and who knows HFC may be the power source but I think lipo's have still more developement left in them yet, nice find though!!

Interesting. It's still a massive thing, 'takes up more space than a turbine.

That looks a bit like a Robbe airframe.
