Batteries Play a Vital in Drone Performance & Provide for System Flexibility

Hy-Hybrid, MCMulticopter

Range for constant payload roughly scales linearly with gravimetric density improvements in battery-only drone

Hybrid systems realize greater absolute range improvements over battery-only drones with gravimetric density improvements

Segmenting battery size across a fleet to optimize for variable payloads and range is likely a better option than variation in the drones (tare) themselves

Highly variable duty cycles and performance specs present product challenges and market opportunities for battery manufacturers with aviation customers
