HevenDrones CEO talks hydrogen fuel, UK drone superhighway

Israel-based hydrogen-powered UAV developer HevenDrones is keeping a very close eye on work in the UK toward creating a 165-mile “drone superhighway,” which is intended to enable a broadening range and rate of aerial activity and services across a huge swath of the nation. Although it is not yet involved in what are the still preliminary stages of that British project, HevenDrones CEO Bentzion Levinson says he believes the program’s potential for rapidly, radically transforming UAV systems, regulations, operation, and tech – including power sources like hydrogen permitting far longer flights – is enormous, and something he’d be keen to join when the time is right.

Levinson discussed his views of the UK superhighway concept, how HevenDrone’s continuing work on hydrogen fuel could benefit craft using it, and the likelihood of similar systems around the globe replicating the transformative British initiative with DroneDJ.
