Abstract

The use of fuel cells in long-haul drones is a direction of their development. According to the general requirements of a certain type of UAV, this paper adopts modular design, combined with fuel cell selection and self-design of key components to complete the design of fuel cell drone power supply, and finally proposes the next work direction.
