End-to-end urban air mobility demo; integrating airborne collision avoidance system into autonomy; ZeroAvia eyes wider electric market; electrifying the Beaver
GKN Aerospace is nearing critical milestones in its H2Gear hydrogen-electric powertrain research and technology project after overcoming supply chain issues.
Japan has selected research themes for funding support under a program to develop hydrogen-electric propulsion technologies for next-gen commercial aircraft.
The airframer will essentially choose between burning hydrogen in a turbine engine and using it in a fuel cell to produce electricity—which favors efficiency.
CAeS has released details of the finalized hydrogen fuel cell packing design it is developing for flight tests on a modified Britten-Norman BN-2 Islander.
