The Future of Flight
summary
Company Hydroplane develops a 200 kW hydrogen fuel-cell powerplant for retrofit into an existing single-engine airframe called Protium which targets Protium: 1,000 km range, 200 km/h cruise and five-hour endurance; first hydrogen flight tests are scheduled within six months. System uses liquid hydrogen tanks, fuel cell electric motor, and relies on electrolysis-produced green hydrogen (EU investments in the billions). Roadmap scales to 1 MW marine/aircraft systems and estimates jets on fuel cells in ~15–20 years.
