World’s first liquid-hydrogen electric aircraft flight | SWNS

The world’s first piloted flight of an electric aircraft powered by liquid hydrogen has taken place. H2FLY, the Stuttgart, Germany-based developer of hydrogen-electric powertrain systems for aircraft, today (7 Sep) announced it has successfully completed several trips. The H2FLY team say they have carried out four flights from Maribor, Slovenia, powered by liquid hydrogen as part of its flight test campaign, including one flight that lasted for over three hours. They believe the flights lay the foundation for long-range, emissions-free flight, with liquid hydrogen doubling the range of the HY4 aircraft to 1,500km, compared to using gaseous hydrogen.
