I want to share our last experience with HYBRiX, a lapse time of a 3hr and 10min endurance flight test. As far as I know it is the longest flight time for a hybrid fuel-electric drone, and I have to say it is not a lab test, but the same configuration we will start selling very soon. We are really excited about this! Please comments ;)

Nice model :)
Is this the small, medium or large version on the video?
@Jose Luis Cortes: ~12 kg. is still pretty big. It makes my iris+ feel like a toy, on top of that, i'm working on an even lighter ~1 kg (with batteries) ~2 ft. diagonal quad that is going to look so frail compared to yours :P One quick question, which quad is the above motor going one? I'm afraid to ask how much power it draws:)
I'll be interested to see the 67" prop version flying. I know of a few people hitting a brick wall with regards stability of fixed pitch props larger than 20-30".
this one with 67 inch propellers, t-motor are developing this unit for us ;P
If you ever come near Seville just give us a ping. It would be really great to see that "thing" fly.
Keep up with the innovation
@Ouroboros - it is a 2 stroke engine so we use gas and oil mixture
@Víctor Mayoral - we are using Pixhawk, the pixhawk works perfectly but i need to think about this. The problem that I see is that pixhawk is not designed for this "high responsibility" aircrafts. We are thinking about starting a project with the UPV to develop a redundant scheme for pixhawk.
@armen t - for pricing contact us (info@quaternium.es). we will ship some units to few customers in 2 or 3 months.
@Ryan Watkins - hehehe, That was the original plan, but after releasing these two videos we see that the right product is in this weight and size range (i mean MTOW 20kg or so).
The potential of this vehicle is huge, currently we do not have translational flight data but we are willing to do a flight of 250 km.
So no immediate plans and no price for a unit of 100kg !!!
Jose,
Just visited your website. The Hybrix 100 must be massive! What do you think your pricing will be like?
How to do it?
Really awesome !, what is the engine cc, power generator rating, maximum fuel tank capacity with 500gm additional payload ?
How much and when?
