Technology Update


The prototype regenerative energy-storage system is designed to capture excess electric power produced by the Helio's solar arrays during daytime flight and use it to electrolyze water into hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen and water will be stored under pressure and recombined in a fuel cell, which will provide power for night flights.
