Blueflite®, a prominent drone-based logistics provider, is part of a collaborative effort supported by the Northern Territory Government to address the need for reliable hydrogen fuel storage for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The project focuses on developing lightweight, high-pressure hydrogen tanks using Advanced Fiber Placement technology at Charles Darwin University. This innovation is projected to positively impact various industries, particularly in remote regions such as the NT. Notably, long-range UAVs have significant applications in sectors like healthcare, agriculture, and mining, offering improved efficiency and accessibility. In the healthcare domain, these UAVs enable swift transport of medical essentials to remote areas, enhancing healthcare delivery. Moreover, in agriculture, drones enhance crop monitoring, precision farming, and pest control, fostering sustainable practices. The project underscores the significance of additive manufacturing (AM) in UAV manufacturing, signaling a promising future in advancing drone capabilities and operational efficiency. As the project progresses, it is anticipated to shed light on the potential and constraints of AM technology in drone production.
