In terms of innovative drones, the British military is really paving the way for UAVs that
0:06
will define the battlefield for decades to come.
0:09
As well as the missile launching jackal, there's another new leaf-hole drone, courtesy
0:14
of the Brits, and this one is agile, intelligent, and destructive.
0:19
This is the Hydra 400, and we're going to review just what makes it so special.

Hydra is a British UAV technology business founded in October of 2019 and funded by
0:41
the British Army to reinvent heavy-lift UAVs and develop the hybrid jet electric concept.
0:47
The new Hydra 400 offers unparalleled lift capacity, speed, and range to allow for development
0:54
in any industry sector.
0:56
The British Ministry of Defense in 2023 officially displayed its latest jet-propelled heavy-lift drone
1:03
at the Defense and Security Equipment International Conference at the Excel Center in London.
1:09
This was the Hydra 400 and it was being showcased alongside the drone's Ather mothership.
1:14
This was to demonstrate that the British Army is pioneering a new generation of heavy-lift drones
1:19
using hybrid propulsion technology.
1:22
This is the tech that uses rotors and jet engines in tandem.
1:26
The Hydra 400 is small and portable,
1:29
so much so that it can be transported on a regular pickup truck
1:32
and if needed, can be prepared for flight in six minutes.
1:37
For flight, the Hydra has single spool jet turbines
1:41
that generate 500 newtons of thrust,
1:43
which lets it lift 882 pounds.
1:46
The single spool core means that all rotating components in the compressor and the gas generator
1:52
are on one shaft and rotate at the same speed.
1:56
This isn't the case with dual spool core as this splits the compressor into two independently
2:01
and ultimately, spitting rotors that are each powered by a separate
