A hybrid drone is a powered aircraft that obtains some of its lift as a lighter than air in airships and some from aerodynamic lift for a conventional hex copter construction. A dynastic is with a hull of helium gas as a partial lifting body, and it is typically for long endurance flights. It works by the buoyancy of a low-density gas and hex copter construction for maneuvering. The helium-assisted hybrid drone is capable to fly with minimum power consumption. The project is a hybrid drone that has the characteristics of the lighter than air system (LTAS) and drone. Combining buoyancy for less dense gases like helium with hex copter propulsion can indeed minimize power consumption and increase flight time for drones. Using helium balloon is to provide a high lifting force. This project has the high efficiency and endurance properties comparable to conventional drones. By modifying the designing, we may have better efficiency, higher payload carrying capacity, and low cost, along with better aerodynamics characteristics of the drone. The proposed drone design increased flight endurance by 25%, with a standard difference of 5%, compared to conventional multi-rotor drone on all operating conditions.
