Replacing the rich energy source of Jet-A kerosene with a zero-carbon alternative is no easy task for the aviation industry. There are “sustainable aviation fuels” made with captured carbon, but in order to go zero-emissions, what works for cars and tr… Continue reading H2Fly prepares for pioneering liquid hydrogen flight tests
ZeroAvia’s 19-seat Dornier 228 has taken its first test flight in the UK. It’s a testbed for the company’s clean aviation technology, using a zero-emissions hydrogen-electric powertrain that’s slated for certification and commercial flights by 2025.Con… Continue reading ZeroAvia celebrates maiden flight of world’s largest hydrogen aircraft
The entire airline industry needs to wean itself off jet fuel over the next few decades – but it’s still buying enormously expensive jet aircraft that are expected to keep bringing home the bacon for more than 20 years. Australian company Aviation H2 h… Continue reading First ammonia-powered jet flight in 2023: A roadmap to clean aviation
A revolutionary cryogenic tank design promises to radically boost the range of hydrogen-powered aircraft – to the point where clean, fuel-cell airliners could fly up to four times farther than comparable planes running on today’s dirty jet fuel.Continu… Continue reading Ultra-light liquid hydrogen tanks promise to make jet fuel obsolete
Hyundai has already made it very clear that it’s making a serious play at next-gen electric aviation, establishing its own eVTOL subsidiary Supernal late last year and promising to flex its automotive-grade manufacturing muscle to get air taxis built i… Continue reading Hyundai outlines its hydrogen aviation plans, including regional eSTOLs
De Havilland Canada has partnered with ZeroAvia to develop a zero-emissions hydrogen fuel cell powertrain for its Dash 8-400 airliner, which can either be retrofit to existing planes or supplied as a factory option on new aircraft orders.Continue Readi… Continue reading De Havilland will develop and market hydrogen airliners with ZeroAvia
California startup H2 Clipper wants to bring back hydrogen-filled airships, claiming they can unlock completely green intercontinental cargo operations carrying 8-10 times the payload of any cargo plane over 6,000 miles, at a quarter of the price.Conti… Continue reading Could hydrogen airships return as fast, cheap, green cargo transports?
Long-haul aviation presents a tough challenge for decarbonization, but a group of 100 aerospace experts working on the UK government’s FlyZero project says 279-seat liquid hydrogen airliners will connect any two points on the globe with just one stop.C… Continue reading Squirrel-cheeked liquid H2 airliner will take you anywhere in two hops
The shift to sustainable fuels in the aerospace sector passed another milestone last week when a United Airlines 737 MAX 8 airliner took to the skies with one of its two LEAP-1B engines running on 100-percent Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF).Continue Re… Continue reading Chicago to Washington DC flight uses 100% sustainable fuel in one engine
The Royal Air Force has set a new record by completing the first ever aircraft flight powered entirely by synthetic fuel. On November 2 in the skies over Cotswold Airport in the UK, Group Captain Peter Hackett piloted an Ikarus C42 microlight aircraft … Continue reading RAF makes world’s first flight using pure synthetic fuel
