H2Fly, a company that makes hydrogen-powered planes, has successfully tested its cryogenic hydrogen refueling procedure on the ground. This is an essential prerequisite for the company’s planned test flights in the coming months.
If the test flights also prove successful, it will be an important stepping stone towards a future of cleaner (with regards to fossil fuel emissions) long-haul flights. With so much pressure to reduce carbon emissions in the aviation industry, it would be great if hydrogen-powered planes could be made and used.
And hydrogen is the only viable solution, as other options, like pure electricity, aren’t feasible, according to experts. This is for various reasons, among them being that batteries are heavy. For this reason, hydrogen power could be a sort of “holy grail.”
