Collaborate Disseminate
Paragon VTOL Aerospace is working on a second-gen version of its nine-seat Soar air taxi design, and it’s settled on hydrogen-burning engines for a powertrain it claims will deliver monster range figures between 300-900 miles (480-1,450 km), depending … Continue reading Paragon looks to hydrogen engines for its ultra-long-range Soar eVTOL
Hydrogen fuel cell innovator HyPoint has teamed up with Piasecki Aircraft on a headline project to build the world’s first manned hydrogen helicopter – but in the process, they plan to develop and certify a H2 system that can be integrated into any eVT… Continue reading Piasecki announces world-first hydrogen-electric compound helicopter
Universal Hydrogen has signed letters of intent with three airlines to convert more than 15 regional airliners to run on green hydrogen. The company is developing conversion kits that accept interchangeable hydrogen modules that work like recyclable co… Continue reading Universal Hydrogen to convert 15-plus airliners to run on H2 pods
German clean aviation companies H2Fly and Deutsche Aircraft are joining forces to develop a hydrogen-fuel-cell-powered airliner capable of carrying 40 people, with a demonstration aircraft set to take its first flights in 2025.Continue ReadingCategory:… Continue reading H2Fly and Deutsche Aircraft announce hydrogen-powered 40-seat airliner
Despite an abrupt and unscheduled ending to its six-seater test program, hydrogen aviation pioneer ZeroAvia is ramping up development of the largest fuel-cell-powered aircraft to date – a pair of 19-seaters – and is preparing for something much bigger…. Continue reading ZeroAvia presses ahead with two hydrogen-powered 19-seat aircraft
Long-haul aviation, like everything else in the human world, needs to be totally decarbonized, and in the race to zero emissions for international airliners, liquid-hydrogen powertrains look like one of the only viable possibilities.Continue ReadingCat… Continue reading Airbus pioneers a superconducting powertrain cooled by liquid hydrogen
We’ve written plenty about hydrogen’s potential as a transformative technology for green aviation; in gaseous form, hydrogen offers an energy density much higher than lithium batteries, and that offers a genuine path toward the decarbonization of short… Continue reading AeroDelft’s Phoenix rising as the world’s first liquid-hydrogen aircraft
While this has been a very quiet year for airlines, about 2.5 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions generally come from the aviation sector, somewhere approaching a billion tons of CO2 per year. With air miles set to triple by 2050, this sector is… Continue reading HyPoint’s next-level turbo fuel cell passes prototype testing
With the move towards electric aviation comes new opportunities to explore what a powertrain looks like, and Airbus is experimenting with a new design that builds entire hydrogen propulsion units, tanks and all, into detachable pods along the wings.Con… Continue reading Airbus proposes detachable hydrogen propulsion pods for aircraft
From 1935 to 1948, French manufacturer Avions Mauboussin was known for its light sporting aircraft. Its name has now been revived, by a French startup that plans on building hybrid STOL (short take-off and landing) airplanes.Continue ReadingCategory: A… Continue reading Famed French aviation company lends its name to new hybrid aircraft
