H-Aero

Sustainable flight system for earth data acquisition and broadcasting

A reusable, renewable-powered aerial device operating in the lower atmosphere with sensors for Earth observation, data collection, and broadcasting, providing real-time insights sustainably at any altitude.

The Problem

Revolutionizing Aerial Data Collection: Reducing Energy in Diverse Aircraft

€300,000 to 3x

that amount is the cost of manned aircraft for data collection

Even though aerial vehicles ranging from piloted Cessnas, helicopters, and weather balloons play a pivotal role in large-scale physical businesses' effective data collection, their current utilization for data collection in critical sectors of the economy - including agriculture, energy production, grids, and infrastructure - is inefficient, expensive and not environmentally sustainable.

THE SOLUTION

Enhancing Long-Range Earth Observation and Monitoring

H-Aero's Hybrid-Airplane technology addresses energy consumption concerns of aerial vehicles used for data collection in agriculture, forestry, and water treatment. It gathers aerial data over extended periods and vast areas - covering 1000 km^2 in just 5 hours - and enables the installation of larger payloads with as much as 3 times more sensing equipment while providing near real-time monitoring from ten times higher altitudes, reaching 10 km.

The Impact

Making Zero Emissions with Solar-Powered Aircraft

10X

longer flight duration compared to conventional drones

Energy requirements' reduction and the complete absence of emissions make this solution environmentally sustainable. This technology offers flexible operation modes, suitable for indoor and outdoor scenarios, and enhances functionality with the use of solar energy.

H-Aero is an aerial observation tool for:

  • R&D institutions
  • Airports
  • Fire departments
  • Disaster control
  • Military
  • Insurance companies
  • Telecommunication

The benefits of H-Aero aerial observation device

This technology offers swift deployment of official and military mesh telecommunication networks during urgent events like forest fires, floods, and earthquakes. This system enables real-time observation using various sensors in challenging terrains. 

The benefits include agile and flexible coverage of hard-to-reach areas and constant data collection, supporting precise decision-making and efficient response strategies.
