Over the past 30 years, not only has the frequency of statistics-defying natural disasters increased, but also their severity and complexity. Now, on average, more than 20 million people are displaced annually by such events.One of the key challenges with any disaster relief effort is the delivery of aid to affected regions. Typically, in their aftermath, infrastructure is damaged or blocked by debris. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) could play a significant role in providing relief to these areas at a fraction of the cost of helicopters, and with significantly lower risks. However, they are currently severely restricted in their range and payload carrying capabilities.The objective of this project is to demonstrate a revolutionary Clean Hybrid Powertrain for Aviation (CHyPA) that will enable medium payload, long-range, UAVs that are emission free.

在过去30年中，不仅严重的自然灾害发生的频率增加，而且其严重性和复杂性也增加。现在，平均每年有2 000多万人因此类事件而流离失所。任何救灾工作的关键挑战之一是向受灾地区提供援助。通常情况下，在其后果中，基础设施遭到破坏或被碎片堵塞。无人驾驶飞行器（UAV）可以在向这些地区提供救济方面发挥重要作用，其成本仅为直升机的一小部分，风险也大大降低。该项目的目标是展示一种革命性的航空清洁混合动力系统（CHyPA），它将使中等有效载荷、远程、无排放的无人机成为可能。
