Following more than 350 test flights and two demonstration races of its remotely piloted Airspeeder Mk3 eVTOL, Alauda Aeronautics has revealed the design for the first crewed racer – which boasts a top speed of 360 km/h and a range of 300 km.Continue R… Continue reading Airspeeder prepares for crewed eVTOL racing with Mk4 design reveal
The eVTOL space as a whole is definitely starting to look distinctly grown-up in 2023, transitioning from the crazy rush of concepts and ideas a few years ago into a broadly careful, measured and sensible sort of sector that’s going through the exhaust… Continue reading Long-range, box-wing eVTOL prototype begins flight testing down under
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
France’s H3 Dynamics has presented its self-contained hydrogen propulsion pods for retrofit or line fit to drones and airplanes. They deliver enormous range and endurance figures without heavy batteries, and they mirror the approach Airbus and others a… Continue reading H3 debuts all-in-one hydrogen powertrain pods for long-range flight
Airbus says it’s on track to have a fully operational megawatt-class electric powertrain, fueled by cryogenic liquid hydrogen, tested in flight by 2026, ahead of a full-scale zero-emissions passenger airliner it plans to put into service by 2035.Contin… Continue reading Airbus looks to run full-size airliners on liquid hydrogen by 2035

Rolls-Royce has edged the era of clean aviation a little closer to take-off with the successful testing of a modern jet engine using hydrogen as fuel. The test is described as a landmark achievement and an important step in the decarbonization of the i… Continue reading Rolls-Royce fires up its first hydrogen jet engine
Last April, a hydrogen-powered ZeroAvia test plane lost power and crashed during flight tests. The UK’s Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) has now completed its investigation into the incident, and confirmed that the hydrogen system was not resp… Continue reading ZeroAvia crash investigation complete: It wasn’t the hydrogen
H2 Clipper presents a very compelling case to bring back an extremely controversial technology, saying that large electric airships lifted and powered by green hydrogen stand ready to transport massive cargo loads over enormous distances much faster th… Continue reading Zero-emissions hydrogen cargo airship prototype planned for 2025
The Celera 500L is a truly remarkable design. Otto Aviation says its odd shape delivers an astonishing 59 percent reduction in drag, and a massive leap in efficiency and range compared to traditional plane geometries. Arguably, this thing should’ve bee… Continue reading World’s most efficient passenger plane gets hydrogen powertrain
