German designers have created a new helium-powered drone that can fly for 24 hours, offering new ways to collect data in various fields.

The innovative company Hybrid-Airplane Technologies developed the h-aero drone, which combines zeppelin-like lifting with modern drone technology.

Traditional drones use a lot of energy due to heavy batteries and are noisy, which can disturb wildlife and limit their use in crowded areas. The h-aero drone, however, uses a helium-filled balloon for lift, reducing the need for powerful motors and making it quieter. It can take off and land vertically and operate with minimal energy.

Safety is crucial for drones, especially in crowded places. The h-aero's design allows it to descend gently in case of a malfunction, and it has parachutes for added safety, making it approved for use over crowds. It can also handle winds up to 20 km/h, making it versatile in different conditions.

For sustainability, the company has tested solar panels on the helium balloon, allowing the drone to fly for 24 hours without needing frequent recharging. This makes it ideal for long tasks.

The quiet and long-lasting h-aero drone is useful for environmental monitoring, helping to collect detailed data in nature reserves and forests. It can create digital models of these areas, which are valuable for researchers studying environmental changes. In industrial settings, the drone can identify energy inefficiencies in buildings using thermal imaging.

While exact pricing isn't available, the h-aero drone is likely more cost-effective than traditional methods like crane trolleys or helicopters, making it accessible for many industries.
