It's far too cold at atmospheric pressure.  You see a student injecting fuel into the UAV with a large syringe in the picture.  He'd have to be wearing BIG gloves and using a dewer to load LH...  Also, the bulk of the container onboard the aircraft would limit its capability to take off at all - it would be too heavy!  It's more likely that they are loading gaseous hydrogen or some room temperature liquid commonly used in fuel cells.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dan CaJacob]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 17th 2007 2:29PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Korean researchers build a fuel cell UAV that runs for 10 hours]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/17/korean-researchers-build-a-fuel-cell-uav-that-runs-for-10-hours/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/17/korean-researchers-build-a-fuel-cell-uav-that-runs-for-10-hours/</guid><description><![CDATA[I doubt the military would want a UAV to run for a mere 5-10 hours. Even if it’s able to run for 20 hours they still wouldn’t. The reason is most military mission won’t go as they should and they need a UAV that’s able to run 24/7 meaning some sort of solar powered UAV. The Liquid Hydrogen is a good idea though, because it can offer a boost for the UAV to dodge or can act as a auxiliary backup.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mr.Tech]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 17th 2007 9:45AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Korean researchers build a fuel cell UAV that runs for 10 hours]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/17/korean-researchers-build-a-fuel-cell-uav-that-runs-for-10-hours/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/17/korean-researchers-build-a-fuel-cell-uav-that-runs-for-10-hours/</guid><description><![CDATA[Actually, For tactical missions such as the Army conducts such as base defense or short reconnaissance missions this is the sort of thing that they look for. The bonus is that you haven't got the usual fossil fuel requirements that most UAV's require and so is ideal for units on the move or in remote areas.  That's what caught my eye in the first place. As fuel cells become more mature they will develop longer lives. Anytime you can drop that old fossil fuel umbilical cord thats one less thing you have to worry about logistically. Good Stuff!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[WingedWarriorPoet]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 17th 2007 10:46AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Korean researchers build a fuel cell UAV that runs for 10 hours]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/17/korean-researchers-build-a-fuel-cell-uav-that-runs-for-10-hours/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/17/korean-researchers-build-a-fuel-cell-uav-that-runs-for-10-hours/</guid><description><![CDATA[24/7 surveillance is what satellites are for.<br><br>For the "Hey what's in this area 10 miles from here?" they want something that can get out there and get back, and won't be an embarrassment if it gets shot down.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[kevinboehm]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 17th 2007 12:22PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Korean researchers build a fuel cell UAV that runs for 10 hours]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/17/korean-researchers-build-a-fuel-cell-uav-that-runs-for-10-hours/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/17/korean-researchers-build-a-fuel-cell-uav-that-runs-for-10-hours/</guid><description><![CDATA[The hydrogen could be made on-site via solar-powered electrical too. As for "24/7 UAVs" being all the military would want - DARPA has been funding a variety of craft here in the US for years, some with flight times of just minutes. In essence, as others have pointed out - you're wrong, and you've been watching too much Macross..."Boost to dodge?"

Look at the size of that RC plane the researcher is working on.  Since these fuel cells are so light (17oz of hydrogen versus many gallons of jet fuel), it would make it easy to design small, lightweight UAVs that could be deployed with the troops instead of being run from airbases far away.<br><br>And if you do need 24/7 coverage, you could aways have multiple planes and run them in shifts...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Tim]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 17th 2007 6:12PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
