Spanish company Quaternium has destroyed its own record for gasoline-electric drone endurance with a 10-hour, 14-minute flight. But how does that stack up against hydrogen and batteries, and what are the implications for the emerging eVTOL market?Conti… Continue reading World record drone flights: Hydrogen vs battery vs gasoline-electric
ZeroAvia says it has completed the world’s first hydrogen fuel-cell-powered flight of a commercial-grade aircraft. On September 23, 2020, a modified Piper M-class six-seater plane, which ZeroAvia says is now the largest hydrogen-powered aircraft in the… Continue reading World’s largest hydrogen-powered plane makes maiden flight
Hydrogen is well and truly on the rise as the zero-emissions aviation fuel of the future, with Airbus announcing its ZeroE initiative to get hydrogen airliners into production by 2035. But that’s a long way off, and innovators are pushing to get H2 air… Continue reading Universal Hydrogen and Magnix building world’s largest hydrogen plane
According to a recent international study, aviation is responsible for 3.5 percent of all human activities that drive climate change. Airbus is looking to a cleaner future for the commercial aircraft industries, where hydrogen powers the (local) zero-e… Continue reading Airbus eyes hydrogen-powered future with commercial aircraft concepts
Reaction Engines and Britain’s Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) have completed a concept study into the practicality of using ammonia as a jet aviation fuel. By teaming Reaction Engines’s heat exchanger technology with STFC’s advanced c… Continue reading Reaction Engines testing ammonia as carbon-free aviation fuel
East Coast aviation company Alakai made big headlines last year when it became the first eVTOL air taxi company to put hydrogen on the table as a way to get around the battery bottleneck that’s holding so many competitors down to short flight times wit… Continue reading Skai revises targets for its liquid-hydrogen, long-range eVTOL
ZeroAvia says it has successfully completed the first-ever flight of a commercial-scale electric-powered aircraft in the UK. On June 22, 2020, the company’s HyFlyer aircraft featuring the latest version of its hybrid hydrogen/electric powertrain took o… Continue reading ZeroAvia completes UK’s first commercial-scale electric aircraft flight
Everybody but the oil companies wants electric aviation to take off as quickly as possible, if you’ll pardon the pun. The aviation industry is a huge polluter, and electric aircraft will not only be cleaner, but significantly cheaper in terms of energy… Continue reading ZeroAvia’s Val Miftakhov makes a compelling case for hydrogen aviation
