Harris Aerial — Carrier H6 Hybrid EFI
The hybrid drone built for work that outlasts batteries. An onboard 2.4 kW EFI generator delivers up to 240 minutes of flight — five times the endurance of our battery-powered H6 Electric — and refuelling takes about as long as swapping a battery pack.
The Carrier H6 Hybrid EFI offers unparalleled payload versatility for long-duration mission profiles. Built around a highly efficient electronic fuel injection system, it eliminates range anxiety and minimizes downtime.
This system arrives ready to plug-and-play, maintaining the H6 family's hallmark ability to convert to all-electric or hydrogen-electric power formats in minutes — one airframe, three power systems.
Built on Harris Aerial's flagship H6 hexacopter frame. The robust airframe folds down to a fraction of its flight-ready size for easy transport, then secures into mission-ready position in minutes.
Despite its gas-electric powertrain, the airframe remains fully convertible to all-electric or hydrogen-electric power formats — a single chassis, every mission profile.
Exceptional MTOW to Structural Mass Ratio: the airframe weighs just 16.3 kg (36 lbs) empty while supporting a massive 25 kg (55 lbs) Maximum Takeoff Weight (MTOW), ensuring maximum power is dedicated to your payload.
Equipped with a dampened modular quick-release mounting system and a 19-Pin Universal Payload Connector, the H6 Hybrid EFI handles up to 5 kg (11 lbs) of professional payloads.
The Universal Payload Connector delivers integrated power (48V, 24V, 12V, 5V) and data signals (UART, Ethernet, CAN, USB, GPIO) through a single connection — ready for any high-value sensor, gimbal, or instrument package in the Harris payload library.
Powered by the highly efficient H2400 EFI 2-stroke generator yielding 2.4 kW of continuous power. Operating with a 6.5 L fuel tank capacity (optimally tested at 4 L with maximum 5 kg payload), the intelligent system monitors fuel consumption in real-time along with RPM, generator power output (watts), current and voltage, cylinder head temperature, throttle, and run-time-until-maintenance — for reliable, multi-hour performance.
2x 6S1P LiPo backup battery packs provide up to 5 minutes of redundant battery power for safe recovery in the unlikely event of a generator interruption.
The 2-stroke engine is fueled electronically by a proprietary EFI (electronic fuel injector), allowing operators to focus on mission success while the generator does the hard work modifying fuel flow for varying elevations and weather conditions. No more turning mechanical needles for tuning during varying weather conditions and flight environments.
Layered radio, battery, and fuel failsafes ensure safe recovery in any failure scenario. NDAA compliant for federal and defense deployments.
Drag the slider to model real-world mission profiles. Data sourced from controlled flight tests at 120m AGL with 2-minute landing reserve.
* Tested at 120m AGL with 2-minute landing reserve included. Performance varies with altitude, temperature, wind, and total fuel load. Payload includes all sensor and mounting hardware weight.
The H6 Hybrid EFI folds into a transport-ready configuration and deploys to flight-ready in under two minutes — ideal for remote missions where gasoline logistics outpace battery-charging infrastructure.
When the mission outlasts a battery charge, the H6 Hybrid EFI keeps flying. Multi-hour endurance unlocks operational profiles that all-electric platforms simply cannot reach.
Unprecedented flight times make this the premier choice for large-scale, long-duration automated grid assignments — covering hundreds of acres in a single sortie.
Coastal & shoreline surveying dronesWith a 5 kg capacity, effortlessly carry heavy professional equipment and multi-sensor arrays without sacrificing necessary flight times.
Energy infrastructure inspection dronesGasoline logistics enable continuous field operations in remote environments where traditional battery-charging infrastructure is unavailable or unreliable.
