Inside the World's First Piloted Hydrogen Helicopter Flight
On April 10, 2026, test pilot Ric Webb touched down at Roland-Désourdy Airport in Bromont, Quebec, after completing something no one had done before: flying a full airport circuit in a piloted hydrogen-powered helicopter. The aircraft was a modified Robinson R44, its original Lycoming gasoline engine replaced entirely by two proton exchange membrane fuel cell stacks, a magniX electric motor, and a small lithium-ion buffer battery. The only substance leaving its exhaust stack
Hydrogen-Fueled Hypersonic Jet Could Revolutionize Aviation at Mach 12
The aviation industry stands on the precipice of its most dramatic transformation since the jet age. More than two decades after the legendary SR-71 Blackbird took its final flight, a new generation of aircraft is emerging that could make the iconic spy plane look slow by comparison. At the forefront of this revolution is hydrogen-powered hypersonic propulsion technology capable of reaching speeds twelve times faster than sound. What Makes Hydrogen the Fuel of Hypersonic Flig
