Innovative Hydrogen-Powered UAV Systems & Hydrogen Refueling Services
Phoenix Flight Industries is a pioneering developer of innovative UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) systems that harness the potential of hydrogen to revolutionize virtually every segment of the drone industry.
Offering a market-leading 1.5 to 5 hours of flight endurance, our drones unlock new levels of efficiency and cost-effectiveness as well as next-generation applications such as BVLOS (beyond visual line of sight), enabling you to get more done in a single flight.
Our goal is to further the state of the art in unmanned aviation with scalable and forward-thinking solutions that enhance the capabilities of the drone industry, while supporting global decarbonization and sustainability initiatives.
The use of hydrogen fuel cells produces only water, oxygen, and more hydrogen, ensuring that our drones have minimal impact upon the environment. Hydrogen also offers a much higher energy density than other power sources such as batteries, allowing UAVs to stay in the air for hours without needing to interrupt operations for battery charging or swapping.
The P1 is a cutting-edge multirotor drone platform that delivers more airtime than any other comparable solution on the market.
Offering an impressive 20 kg of payload capacity, it is ideal for a wide range of commercial and industrial applications, from long-range inspection through to logistics.
The system’s hydrogen fuel cell is paired with a 16S LiPo battery to provide a power boost during times of peak power demand such as takeoff, landing and complex maneuvers. This hybrid power system also offers a backup power capability for enhanced safety and reliability.
Running on industry-proven CubePilot and ArduPilot drone controller hardware and software, the P1 is equipped as standard with an advanced thermal imaging camera payload with 30x optical zoom and built-in laser rangefinder.
The complete package comes with a KTAC (Kutta Tactically Aware Controller) handheld ground control station. This lightweight IP67-rated controller weighs less than three pounds and can be equipped with a number of different radio options.

We provide bespoke hydrogen refueling services that support all your operational requirements no matter how large or small your drone fleet.
Our dedicated team can support you to ensure that you get the fuel that you need, when you need it – providing solutions that outpace the general limited accessibility of hydrogen nationwide.
Infrastructure Inspection
Thanks to its class-leading endurance, the P1 is ideal for undertaking large-scale inspection of roads, railways, power lines and other assets and infrastructure. With flight times of up to five hours, it significantly enhances the coverage possible in a single flight.
Precision Agriculture
The P1 enables effective data-gathering over large areas of farmland, providing agricultural professionals with crucial insights into crop health, irrigation levels, pest attacks and more. In addition to vastly-improved efficiency, hydrogen-powered drone technology also contributes to cleaner operations in rural areas.
Emergency & Disaster Response
Offering extended loitering times, the P1 is an ideal tool for critical missions such as post-disaster analysis, search and rescue, and fire and flood mapping, providing an “eye in the sky” capability that improves situational awareness and decision-making for more successful outcomes.
Cargo Delivery & Logistics
With a generous payload capacity of 20 kg, the P1 is highly suited to last-mile delivery and other logistics requirements, providing effective, efficient and clean transport of essential items such as spare parts, medical supplies or emergency relief goods.
