Harris Aerial Carrier H6 Series

Harris Aerial's U.S.-manufactured Carrier H6 is a convertible heavy-payload UAV platform that can be configured with gas-electric hybrid, hydrogen-electric or fully electric propulsion. The shared airframe supports LiDAR surveying, photogrammetry, corridor mapping, utility inspection and surveillance missions.

The H6 Hybrid HE+ uses an H2400 EFI generator to provide 2,400 W of continuous onboard power. The H6 Hydrone instead uses an Intelligent Energy 2.4 kW fuel-cell power module. Both configurations support payloads up to 5 kg, while endurance depends on payload and power-system configuration.

Variant Power source Power module Maximum payload Endurance
Carrier H6 Hybrid Gas-electric H2400 EFI / 2,400 W 5 kg 2.5 hr with 4 kg; 1.5 hr with 5 kg
Carrier H6 Hydrone Hydrogen fuel cell FCPM / 2.4 kW 5 kg Up to 2.5 hr with recommended 3 kg payload
