Multirotors have proven their significance in fields like aerial imaging, surveying, and inspection. However, their effectiveness is hindered by limited flight autonomy due to the low energy density of standard lithium polymer batteries and high power demand. This necessitates frequent recharging, limiting prolonged operational capabilities. In response, our study introduces a methodology to assess the feasibility of a hybrid internal combustion engine and electric generator set as an alternative power source for multirotors. We investigate three theoretical multirotor designs tailored for mid-to-heavy load capacities (15 – 35 kg max take-off mass) and evaluate both pure battery and hybrid power as vehicle energy sources. Our findings indicate that hybrid power significantly enhances endurance, enabling extended flight times and wider range coverage. This extended aerial presence achieved with the hybrid system's superior endurance over traditional batteries significantly enhances multirotor capabilities, enabling innovative applications and expanded use cases. |
