In the sky over Scotland its first flight has made the plane, which as fuel uses solid hydrogen. The combustion of the pellets with the fuel emit water vapor, which the fuel cell is converted into electricity, says Lenta.ru with reference to New Scientist. It in turn drives the propellers of the drone.

Fuel for the experimental flight was created by the British company Cella. Granules of 1 square centimeter represent a chemical compound which, when heated, produces steam. All on Board the small plane were 100 solid pellets Packed into one cartridge.

With such a fuel drone stayed in the air 10 minutes and managed to climb to a height of 80 meters. Although, as the researchers themselves say, the fuel could be enough for two hours of continuous flight.

design can be used for environmental monitoring of the Earth's poles organic drones. Also cvetovodstvo fuel can be used as additional power on Board large aircraft.
