Airbus and Toshiba team up to create superconducting aircraft motor

Making a virtue out of necessity, Airbus is joining forces with Toshiba to develop a super-efficient superconducting motor for aircraft that uses the liquid hydrogen that supplies the electricity to cool the propulsion and adjacent systems.Continue Rea… Continue reading Airbus and Toshiba team up to create superconducting aircraft motor

Ultra-efficient blended wing airliner unlocks long-range clean flights

This unique blended-wing airliner promises not only to reduce fuel burn and emissions by an enormous 50% – but thanks to a new partnership, it could also be the best chance we’ve seen to deliver proper long-range, zero emissions air travel.Continue Rea… Continue reading Ultra-efficient blended wing airliner unlocks long-range clean flights

Hydrogen helicopters to be called into service for organ delivery

As hydrogen-powered vehicles continue to evolve, their use will become as niche as that of some current land-, sea-, and air-transportation methods, such as a new agreement that will see helicopters powered by the green fuel used for organ transport.Co… Continue reading Hydrogen helicopters to be called into service for organ delivery

370-mile hydrogen-electric seaplane set to clean up island hopping

Swiss clean-energy aviation startup JEKTA has announced a partnership with fuel-cell powertrain developer ZeroAvia to extend the flight range and payload capacity of an upcoming electric amphibious passenger aircraft called the PHA-ZE 100.Continue Read… Continue reading 370-mile hydrogen-electric seaplane set to clean up island hopping

Joby’s 523-mile eVTOL flight: A huge leap for hydrogen aviation

It’s the first flight of its kind ever announced, an enormous technical milestone, an absolute demolition of Joby’s previous 154-mile (248-km) record, and a strong move that looks beyond the company’s first priority: putting battery-powered air taxi op… Continue reading Joby’s 523-mile eVTOL flight: A huge leap for hydrogen aviation

Cryo-compressed hydrogen: A 40% aircraft range boost over liquid H2

ZeroAvia is working with San Francisco startup Verne to bring an even more energy-dense form of hydrogen to the clean aviation space. Cryo-compressed H2 could reduce costs, speed up fueling, and unlock 40% more flight range than cryogenic liquid H2.Con… Continue reading Cryo-compressed hydrogen: A 40% aircraft range boost over liquid H2

World’s first liquid-hydrogen eVTOL aircraft promises 1,150-mile range

The Sirius Jet will fly up to 1,150 miles (1,851 km) at speeds up to 323 mph (520 km/h) on a clean liquid-hydrogen powertrain. It’ll rise vertically off a pad thanks to a deflected vectored thrust system using 20 smallish electric ducted fans.Continue … Continue reading World’s first liquid-hydrogen eVTOL aircraft promises 1,150-mile range
