A Benchmarking System to Spark Companies to Action - Innovation that Fuels New Deal Flow and Growth Pipelines
This research pertains to the global small hybrid drones market. A hybrid drone uses two or more different energy sources to power its flight. The most common type of small hybrid drone uses a combination of electric batteries and an internal combustion engine (ICE). The ICE generates electricity, which then powers the drone's motors and other systems. This Frost Radar™ evaluates only drone platforms that use gas–electric hybrid power for propulsion and have a maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) of 25 kg, or 55 lbs. The small hybrid drones market is a relatively new subset of the commercial drones market, and although it is in the nascent phase of development, it is gaining traction, with at least four new small hybrid drones being brought to market in just the past 18 months.
