Australian Cell Developer Achieves Near Two-Hour Flight
Li-S Energy’s lithium-sulfur battery has successfully powered a Pegasus drone through a near two-hour flight, covering over 75 km and meeting expected flight performance. The drone, designed and built by three Australian companies, including V-TOL Aerospace and Halocell Energy, is expected to eventually fly five- to eight-hour missions with improved solar arrays. The project received a grant from the Australian government and has completed its development and flight test work, with the partners now analyzing flight data to assess commercial potential. This development was reported by Charged EVs.
