Puma's standard propulsion system comes equipped with rechargeable batteries with a listed flight time of 2.5 hours. The nearly five-hour duration of the Puma flight using fuel cell battery hybrid power surpassed the longest previous Puma flight achieved by AeroVironment using any technology.
The successful demonstration, announced by AeroVironment on June 27, 2007, marked the completion of the first task under AeroVironment’s $4.7 million, five-year IDIQ contract with the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory for the development of advanced propulsion technologies for unmanned aircraft.
"We are pleased that Millennium Cell’s hydrogen technology delivered energy density nearly twice that of batteries currently used in this device,” stated Adam Briggs, Millennium Cell President. “We believe that our Hydrogen on Demand® technology will provide significant competitive advantages for our licensees and more tactical advantages for users of these devices,” Briggs continued.
