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

Gas turbines are found in aircraft, trains, ships, generators, pumps, compressors and all sorts of other places. They can run on a variety of fuels, but some 90 percent of them currently run on natural gas, a fossil fuel that produces carbon dioxide wh… Continue reading Researchers run a gas turbine on pure hydrogen in world first
Toyota wants hydrogen to power entire cities in Japan. Its subsidiary Woven Planet broke ground last February on a “Woven City” near Susono, which will act as a futuristic testbed for all sorts of urban planning ideas and technologies, including an exp… Continue reading Toyota and Woven Planet have developed a portable hydrogen cartridge
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
Stuttgart-based German aerospace company H2FLY has claimed a new world record for its four-seater HY4, which became the first hydrogen-powered passenger aircraft to reach an altitude above 7,000 ft (2,134 m) on April 13. In addition, the HY4 made the f… Continue reading Hydrogen-electric HY4 passenger aircraft sets altitude record
Piasecki Aircraft has announced it’s putting a HyPoint turbo air-cooled fuel cell and an electric powertrain into an ultralight helicopter from EDM Aerotec, hoping to achieve the world’s first manned hydrogen-powered helicopter flight – with its own co… Continue reading Piasecki outlines its path to the world’s first manned hydrogen helicopter flight
A Geneva concept car even without a Geneva Motor Show, the Alpine A4810 is a look at an absolutely menacing supercar that runs on clean, water vapor-emitting hydrogen. Huge tires below even huger bodywork, a central canopy and a rear-end that looks lik… Continue reading Wicked supercar study turns hydrogen into blurry taillight art
Formula E’s dirty little brother, Extreme E, only had its first race in 2021, but it’s already attracted drivers of the caliber of Jensen Button, Sebastian Loeb, Carlos Sainz and Nasser Al-Attiyah. It’s a single-make off-road race series, pitting all-e… Continue reading Extreme E race series makes a surprise tilt towards hydrogen
Hydrogen combustion engines are inefficient, costly to maintain and worse for the environment than fuel cell or battery powertrains. But they’re also noisy and fun, so automakers are starting to pitch them as a greener option for die-hard motorheads.Co… Continue reading Could hydrogen engines keep the combustion party alive for revheads?
