Design and fabrication process of the fuel cell powered UAV / Wan Ahmad Saufi Wan Chek

An unmanned aerial vehicle, or globally known as UAV, is an unpiloted aircraft, which can be remote controlled or fly autonomously based on pre-programmed flight plans or other dynamic automation system. In the conceptual design of the demonstration UAVaircraft, it will be using a fuel cell system a...
