Embry-Riddle Students Develop Hydrogen-Powered Drone Prototype

Mechanical Engineering students at Embry‑Riddle Aeronautical University teamed up to retrofit a fixed-wing drone with a hydrogen fuel cell system — a technically complex and ambitious undertaking. For the project, known as GHOST and sponsored by Honeywell Aerospace, the students — from both the Daytona Beach and Prescott campuses — used fuel cell technology still in a prototype phase. “We had all these questions and no answers,” said Joshua Siegler, the team lead at Prescott. “That kind of set the tone for the rest of the project.” Whether hydrogen can become a viable propulsion source for uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS)...
