ZeroAvia Makes History with Largest Hydrogen-Electric Powered Aircraft
A California manufacturer named ZeroAvia has just paved a significantly bigger path toward the mass use of sustainable aviation fuel with a Dornier 228. (aeroxplorer.com) Más...WTF is with the CONSTANT paywalls on EVERY article I try to read lately???
Yea, a pain. For this one I got around it by hitting <ctrl>P to "print" it to PDF before the paywall splash replaced the content...
Ok so how much room and other items for it to actually be viable and hold enough pax to fly a decent distance. Electric AC doesnt have anything that will haul a payload and go a decent distance.
Hydrogen-electric aircraft will have the payload and range not only to compete with, but to outperform turbine-powered aircraft. Their propulsion systems are far more efficient. Don’t judge the technology by the configuration of the testbed.
linbb is right... while H2 has high energy density, that only comes with either liquid (cryogenic) or under extremely high pressure (50+ bar).
Both of which incur high weight penalties that I'm not so sure makes it a suitable fuel for A/C.

Very true but the fuel is a huge problem and its going to continue to be. Thats where I am comong from there was a news article about that just a few weeks ago.
I like new ideas. Apparently so does the FAA and the customers that ordered 1500 engines.
