Major countries are actively expanding the industry application of drones and vigorously developing drone technology. At present, most small and medium-sized drones are powered by polymer lithium-ion batteries, and their range is limited by the energy density of lithium-ion batteries.

[0003] Some researchers use fuel cells as a power source for small and medium-sized drones because they have the advantages of high energy density, high power density, and low emissions. However, conventional fuel cells use a stacked stack structure, which consists of several fuel cell monomers forming a rectangular stack. For small and medium-sized drones, the rectangular stack and its auxiliary components will undoubtedly occupy a large amount of effective space inside the body, causing serious space adaptation problems.

[0004] To this end, a new type of fuel cell component is needed that can effectively utilize the narrow and irregular space inside small and medium-sized UAVs, which is of great significance to improving the space utilization of small and medium-sized UAVs. Summary of the invention
