Flight school trains some 52,000 civil pilots annually and says it will work with regulators on ‘future governance’ of training involving hydrogen.
Manufacturer unveils fresh aircraft plans aimed at decarbonizing the aviation sector.
Manufacturer recently delayed plans to build hydrogen-powered commercial aircraft and eVTOL air taxis.
Rule covers pilot training and operations of powered-lift aircraft, such as electric air taxis.
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.
lectric airplanes, air taxis, flying cars, drones, and other aircraft are being developed to address issues such as carbon emissions and the pilot shortage.
Airbus and several partners are studying hydrogen infrastructure at airports, while Cranfield Aerospace Solutions and LoganAir aim to launch hydrogen-electric flights by 2027.
The company’s new H2D200 and H2D250 models run on hydrogen fuel cells and are designed for everything from last-mile delivery to military resupply.
