Abstract

This research proposes a self-sufficient, energy-efficient drone system for smart aviation inspection, integrating hybrid hydrogen-electric propulsion to achieve longer range with reduced carbon emissions. Equipped with a multimodal AI vision system combining infrared thermography, high-resolution RGB imagery, and 3D LiDAR sensing, the drone ensures robust defect detection under varying conditions. Onboard deep learning fusion, SLAM, and GPS-denied localization techniques enable seamless autonomous navigation in both indoor hangars and outdoor airfields. By combining sustainable propulsion with advanced AI-driven inspection capabilities, the system significantly improves inspection accuracy, reduces downtime, and enhances overall sustainability in aviation maintenance.
