In a groundbreaking milestone for aviation, H2FLY, the German pioneer in hydrogen-electric powertrains, has successfully conducted the world’s inaugural piloted flight of an electric aircraft powered by liquid hydrogen. Four flights, including a remarkable three-hour journey, were accomplished in Maribor, Slovenia, solidifying the potential for emissions-free, long-distance flights.
Liquid hydrogen, boasting double the range of gaseous hydrogen, extending it to a remarkable 932 miles (1,500km), signifies a transformative leap forward for commercial aviation. This achievement, characterized as a watershed moment, signifies a promising future for hydrogen-powered aircraft and the vital mission of decarbonizing the skies.
