H3 Dynamics will work with Oxford’s Qdot Technology to develop a hydrogen-powered, long-range vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft.
The new VTOL is reportedly capable of travelling 600km or carrying 200kg for up to 250km to remote locations.
Toulouse-based H3 Dynamics provided its hydrogen-electric fuel cell system to ensure the aircraft meets qualification and validation by aviation authorities.
The Oxford University spin-off’s approach to thermal management covers various elements of the aircraft powertrain, giving a “unique advantage over traditional UAV developers and system integrators.”
