H2 View understands, the partnership will see CAeS fuel cells integrated into the Dronamics developed drone, called the Black Swan, which is said to be capable of carrying up to 350kg at a range of up to 2,500km.
It is hoped by combining the technologies the partners can further develop the possibilities of zero-emission aviation, by working together to bring a viable, sustainable solution for cargo delivery services to market.
In 2021, it was announced that CAeS was heading up a UK project to deliver what the consortium sad would be the world’s first truly green passenger carrying airline service using hydrogen fuel cell technology.

Commenting on the latest project, Paul Hutton, CEO of CAeS, said, “This partnership with Dronamics represents a fantastic opportunity for CAeS. Not only will the hydrogen fuel cell technology we are currently developing for the nine-seat Britten-Norman Islander change the face of regional aviation, but it will also make a huge impact on the cargo industry.”
Konstantin Rangelov, co-founder and Chief Technology Officer at Dronamics, added, “When we set out to develop our drone technology, we had a very clear goal in mind – build the most efficient cargo aircraft to date. Less time, less cost, less emissions.
“Our partnership with CAeS will allow us to bring clean, zero-emission aviation technology to more communities and business in all corners of the planet, quicker. We have a lot of work ahead of us, but we couldn’t be more excited for it.”
