The record for endurance has been broken for the longest drone multi-rotor flight. Flight endurance is of major importance for the drone industry. Battery-operated drones are limited by flight times sometimes as short as 15 minutes, and the problem of short flight time is exacerbated when drones carry heavy payloads, such as LiDAR equipment. Hydrogen fueled drones are one solution: but can require that companies working in remote areas manufacture their own fuel, which can mean the purchase and transport of additional hardware. Hybrid drones such as the Skyfront gas electric hybrid offer a viable alternative.
