Hybrid Module

Arcsky X55 hybrid drone

Hybrid power technology offers extended range, longer flight time, reduced down-time, and nearly continuous operation.

HYBRID

TECHNOLOGY

Fuel-Electric Power

The onboard generator produces steady state power for the drone

3 hour flight time

3-Hour Flight Time

Up to 3 hours of flight time, depending on payload

Fast-Refill

Back in operation
with just a quick refill
(91 octane gasoline + 2 stroke oil)

ENGINEERED FOR
ROBUSTNESS

Our custom power delivery and control systems work together to keep the Hybrid Module running optimally at all times,
while the backup battery provides in-flight power redundancy.
