HyFish X-Ray Picture

HyFish has a wingspan of 1m, a total lenght of 1.3m and a weight of 6.1kg. The fuel cell system including electronics and hydrogen tank has a weight of 3kg and an electrical output of 1kW. Possible flight time is around 15min when flying full speed, when using less power the flight time will be much longer.

In April 2007 we made a short video with a flight sequence of HyFish, a small SmartFish powered with a hydrogen fuel cell. The video is in Windows Media File format.
