it will collaborate with the Future Energy Exports Cooperative Research Centre (FEnEx CRC) to develop a Mixed Refrigerant (MR) cryogenic refrigeration system for deployment at its Kwinana Energy Transformation Hub (KETH) R&D facility, with delivery targeted by the end of 2026.

“Being named a finalist in the Army xTech Humanoid competition is a testament to our modular and scalable architecture,” said Dr. Anita Sengupta, CEO of Hydroplane.

Right now, the "front lines" of hydrogen aviation are found in the deployment of the long range drone. This is where the technology is currently operational and proving its worth. In this stage, operations are typically contained and highly controlled.

Hydrogen isn’t just a clean fuel. It’s an opportunity to rebuild how we think about aircraft

Hydrogen aviation is already advancing through long range UAVs, where endurance, efficiency, and zero-emissions propulsion offer clear operational advantages. Companies such as Heven Aerotek are demonstrating how hydrogen can enable real-world aviation missions today. This progression from UAVs to eVTOLs to larger fixed-wing aircraft is not a compromise. It is the correct path to scale. Importantly, hydrogen safety principles do not change with aircraft size. Whether appli

HYSKY Society for hydrogen aviation strengthens leadership as it accelerates the decarbonization of aviation through hydrogen innovation Houston, TX — Dec. 15, 2025 — HYSKY Society, the non-profit dedicated to advancing hydrogen-powered aviation, has appointed three new members from industry and academia to its Board of Directors. Mike Hirschberg, Executive Director Emeritus of the Vertical Flight Society and founder of H2 Advisors; Dr. Anubhav Datta, the Alfred Gessow

On December 9, 2025, Danielle McLean of HYSKY Society interviewed Yannick Schwartzenbart, Head of Program Industrialization at Beyond Aero. The discussion focused on the company’s new feasibility study for its future final assembly factory. This facility will build the world’s first certifiable hydrogen-electric business aircraft. Over 200 Aerospace Jobs The study shows that the selected region will gain 225 high-skill aerospace jobs. These positions include technicians, engi

Hydrogen is no longer just a futuristic dream for aviation - it’s becoming a tangible reality. But with this leap forward comes a fiery challenge that demands our full attention. Imagine a fuel so light, so powerful, yet so volatile that a single spark could ignite a blaze unlike any other. That’s hydrogen for you. As someone deeply invested in aviation safety, I’ve seen firsthand how the industry is racing to master the art of managing hydrogen fire safety risks. It’s a thri

In A Christmas Story, little Ralphie’s dream was a Red Ryder BB gun—and every adult warned, “You’ll shoot your eye out.” Today, dreamers of a different kind are aiming higher: toward the clean skies of hydrogen-powered flight. And guess what? Hydrogen won’t shoot your eye out—it might just save the planet.

McMorrow confirms that GenH2 has been in discussions with ZeroAvia for several years, primarily around liquefiers. Aviation companies working on drones, eVTOL aircraft or even larger planes will almost always need liquid hydrogen on site. Even if they store gaseous hydrogen onboard, the most efficient way to keep fuel available is to store it as liquid and vaporize it before fueling.

NASA has been using hydrogen for over 80 years — and there’s never been a hydrogen leak that caused an accident.

The Alan Turing Award honors innovators leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to accelerate hydrogen aviation.

This 150 kg-class vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) stands out for its long endurance and versatile applications

Hydrogen propulsion is rapidly becoming a cornerstone of sustainable aviation. Yet, as Raffaele Russo’s experience leading hydrogen-electric flight development at Joby Aviation and later founding Otter Stone has shown, fire safety, permitting, and code compliance remain the largest bottlenecks to adoption.

Hydrogen’s properties are a double-edged sword. On one hand, it’s a fantastic energy carrier. On the other, it’s a fire hazard that requires meticulous control. Here are the key risk factors that elevate hydrogen fires to a whole new level of danger:

If you don’t understand how hydrogen behaves in a fire, I’m sorry — but you don’t belong in the conversation about hydrogen aviation.

HYSKY Society, the nonprofit dedicated to advancing hydrogen in aviation and aerospace, has announced the appointment of two distinguished leaders to its Board of Directors: Dr. Anubhav Datta, Alfred Gessow Professor at the University of Maryland’s Department of Aerospace Engineering, and Kenneth Swartz, renowned aviation journalist, communications strategist, and historian.

“Hydrogen Aircraft & Prototypes” isn’t theory—it’s proof. These are the machines and minds turning research into flight, concept into certification, and prototypes into products.

Dr. Anita Sengupta is quite the celebrity in the aerospace community and was even interviewed on William Shatners TV show, "I Don't Understand."

Commentary from Danielle McLean of HYSKY Society A recent Simple Flying feature by Joshua Eyre does a strong job surveying aviation’s decarbonization options—hydrogen, electric, and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). It name‑checks efforts from Airbus, H2FLY, and ZeroAvia. It’s informative and timely. https://simpleflying.com/hydrogen-electric-saf-fuel-lead-commercial-aviation-into-2030s/ Where the otherwise excellent article stumbles is framing .
