Maintaining the integrity, safety, and reliability of energy infrastructure is crucial, but traditional inspection methods face challenges in accuracy and scale. French startup HyLight addresses this with its innovative hydrogen-powered airship drone, the HyLighter. This drone combines the best features of drones and airships, offering a sustainable and efficient alternative for aerial inspections. With a flight time of up to 10 hours and a range of 350 km, the HyLighter can precisely detect issues such as methane leaks and powerline defects without emitting greenhouse gases. The CEO of HyLight, Martin Bocken, highlights the advantages of the HyLighter over existing methods, emphasizing its energy efficiency, stability, and detailed inspection capabilities. The airship's design allows for easy deployment and minimal resource requirements, making it ideal for large-scale infrastructure inspections. Equipped with HD cameras and various sensors, the HyLighter ensures optimal precision and the transmission of detailed inspection data for preventive maintenance. Safety is a top priority for HyLight, with the hydrogen-powered airship drones designed to minimize risks in urban areas. The lightweight structure and slower speeds reduce the potential for damage or injury, making these airships safer than traditional drones. Working closely with aviation authorities, HyLight ensures full compliance with safety and operational standards. The HyLighter is extensively used for infrastructure inspections, environmental monitoring, and methane leak detection, catering to industries focused on sustainability and safety. The success of the technology in France has paved the way for international deployment, with plans for expansion in Europe by 2025 and globally by 2026. With recent funding and a strategic focus on development, production scaling, and market expansion, HyLight aims to revolutionize infrastructure inspection with its hydrogen-powered airship drones.
