We have an exciting video to share with you! I’m delighted to share this video because it reminds me of the work we used to do with Quaternium a few years back, showing off the capabilities of hybrid drones. In this case,there is a 77-mile flight made by the company Valmont Industries, Inc. with a Carrier H6 Hybrid drone from the Harris Aerial company in the United States, with which we collaborate closely. Carrier H6 Hybrid carries a Loweheiser generator called HYBGEN 32
The product is designed for infrastructure inspections, which are a routine task for Valmont Industries. The drone flew for nearly three hours, equipped with a Sony A7RM5 camera, simulating inspections of critical infrastructure such as power lines, railways, and bridges.
According to Valmont, using a conventional inspection method like helicopters would have taken three times longer. Not only was the drone inspection significantly faster, but it was also more fuel-efficient. The entire mission was completed with less than two gallons of fuel. T-Mobile 5G managed to provide live data transfer throughout the three-hour flight.
Congratulations to the Valmont and Harris Aerial teams!
