Abstract: 

Hylium Industries, Inc. is developing a fuel cell power pack for drones which is based on the technologies related to liquid hydrogen. Thanks to higher gravimetric energy density of liquid hydrogen, drones can keep much longer flight endurance, compared to the existing Li-Po battery or power pack with gas hydrogen. Hylium Industries, Inc. has proved its top liquefaction technology receiving the Russel B. Scott Memorial Award from the Cryogenic Engineering Conference held in USA in 2015.
