Hydrogen Aircraft

Manufacturer in February scaled back development of a hydrogen-powered aircraft, which it said may arrive a decade later than its original 2035 target.

The company has previously discussed its plans for intracity air taxi routes using its flagship, battery-electric model.

The manufacturer claims the models will comprise the first family of hydrogen-powered, zero-emission, vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) jets.

Variants of DeltaHawk’s FAA-certified piston engine for GA aircraft are being developed for use in hydrogen-powered aviation, commercial road vehicles, and military mobility applications.

The eVTOL manufacturer’s subsidiary H2Fly said the tests marked the world’s first such flights.

ZeroAvia will obtain an STC for the Grand Caravan turboprop and its ZA600 zero-emission powertrain.

Company aims to use a modified A380 equipped with hydrogen fuel tanks as a test platform.

Israel-based aerospace company Urban Aeronautics says it has secured $10 million for the continued development of its CityHawk eVTOL aircraft. The company, founded in 2006, is currently raising a Series A round of at least $100 million. The funds announced Tuesday came from private investors from the U.S., Brazil, and Israel.
