A simple, cheap pretreatment promises to radically cut the price of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) made from waste wood biomass – potentially making it cost-competitive with fossil-based jet fuel, while cutting down emissions by up to 80%.Continue Rea… Continue reading Lignin breakthrough unlocks cost-competitive, carbon-neutral jet fuel
In all the buzz around eVTOLs, there’s still plenty of appetite for more conventional electric planes – especially, it seems, if they make ludicrous amounts of lift, and can take off and land at incredibly slow speeds, using absolutely tiny runways.Con… Continue reading Ultra-short takeoff and landing plane rakes in $8 billion in pre-orders

A Dutch startup says everyone’s hugely underestimating the potential of battery-electric aircraft – that it’s possible to build large battery-electric airliners covering distances most assume we’ll need hydrogen for. Elysian plans to prove it.Continue … Continue reading 90-seat Elysian airliner: 800-1,000-km range on batteries alone
Liquid hydrogen is a giant pain to handle, but it’s one of the few technologies with a genuine chance of decarbonizing long-range flight. So it’s huge news for clean aviation that H2Fly has now landed the word’s first piloted liquid hydrogen flight.

The blended-wing Natilus Kona aircraft, which is now flying in quarter-scale testing in California, is set to have a zero-emissions variant thanks to a partnership with Zeroavia, which will provide a 600 kW hydrogen-electric powertrain option.Continue … Continue reading Natilus and Zeroavia team up on hydrogen-powered blended wing aircraft
California startup JetZero says it’s working with the USAF, NASA and the FAA to get a blended-wing body jet airliner into service by 2030, promising to use an astonishing 50% less fuel, and providing a perfect platform for clean hydrogen airliners.Cont… Continue reading JetZero aims to put ultra-efficient blended-wing jet in service by 2030
Lithium batteries started an avalanche of innovation when they became widely available, largely because they could hold significantly more energy by weight than other contemporary chemistries. Touchscreen smartphones, drones, all-day laptops, long-rang… Continue reading CATL launches ultra-high density 500-Wh/kg “condensed battery”
