HyLight 🎈 Hydrogen airships for long range monitoring

The founding team from the left to the right : Josef, Thomas, Martin and Théo

Hello everyone, we are HyLight. We build small unmanned hydrogen airships to automatically gather massive amounts of precise data in a sustainable and cost-effective way.

🚫 The problem :

We currently focus on:

• 💨 Pipeline inspection to detect methane leaks (4% of global greenhouse gas emissions).
• ⚡Power line inspection to prevent outages, reduce wildfire risks ($19 billion per year in the US), and ensure grid reliability.

Current solutions (helicopters, airplanes, satellites and drones) are not adapted to make accurate, efficient and sustainable observations.

✅ Our solution :
Our solution is a crossover between drone and lighter than air technologies, using hydrogen as a lifting gas and power source.

This vehicle combines long range, high payload, and hovering capabilities

We have already built four prototypes, two minimum viable products (MVPs), and are running a paid pilot with the largest power line company in Europe.
