Phoenix Flight Industries' P1 is a long-endurance hydrogen-powered multirotor UAV designed for industrial inspection, infrastructure monitoring, security, and surveillance applications. Powered by the IE SOAR 2.4 kW hybrid hydrogen fuel cell system, the platform delivers up to six hours of continuous flight and features modular hydrogen tank configurations that allow operators to tailor endurance to mission requirements. Combining extended flight times with enterprise-grade performance, the P1 enables larger areas to be surveyed in a single sortie while reducing operational downtime.
The P1's hybrid hydrogen power system combines the high energy density of hydrogen with battery-assisted power delivery to provide reliable performance throughout all phases of flight. Modular composite hydrogen tanks can be quickly exchanged in the field without specialised tools, allowing rapid turnaround between missions while maintaining maximum operational availability.
Built on the NDAA-compliant CubePilot Herelink Blue flight control platform, the P1 is equipped with a high-performance EO/IR payload featuring a 640 × 512 thermal imaging sensor with 30× optical zoom for detailed visual and thermal inspection. Designed for demanding commercial and government operations, the aircraft provides a dependable aerial intelligence platform for utility inspection, oil and gas infrastructure monitoring, critical asset protection, emergency response, and security applications.
