Rolls-Royce and Airbus announced steps forward on the way to using hydrogen as fuel for airliners
Rolls-Royce successfully tested a hydrogen-powered jet engine last week They are in an early phase of development and plan to study how hydrogen combustion works, how it can be controlled and identify other areas that need more exploration. As of now, it looks like...
Why We don’t See Many Electric Aircraft Flying – Yet!
There have been some electric light aircraft out there for years. Years ago, there were not many - but now there are about 215 projects worldwide. They are all in different stages of development. None of them is ready for the market - yet. And we, at MySky ECO, have...
Some Concerns we have heard about the Electric Airplane – MySkyECO MS-1e
Here are some of the concerns we have heard when we recently ran a social media campaign for our pure electric airplane, the MySkyECO MS-1 e: 1. Electric airplanes cannot be useful for anything as they lack endurance As of today, this is absolutely true. The battery...
There is Some Ground Work to be Done before we can Fly on Hydrogen
Some groundwork to be done before we can fly on hydrogen
MS-1e taxiing to the runway. Notice anything unusual?
MS-1e taxiing using powered wheels This is an animated 3D-model of MS-1e taxiing. The propeller is not spinning. The forward...
Do Fuel Cells Have a Future in Aviation?
Yes, they almost certainly will. Just look at what ZeroAvia is doing: https://www.zeroavia.com/ Quite impressive, isn't it? Image: ZeroAvia They say "Zero-emission aviation starts with green hydrogen". We couldn't agree more. If the hydrogen is not generated in a...
Emission Free Flying is Great! But what about the Noise?
When you are running a flight school, training future commercial pilots, you are making an important contribution to the national transportation system by alleviating the current pilot shortage. That’s great. Nevertheless, sooner or later you will be the target of...
About the Different “Colors” of Hydrogen
What do the different “colors” of hydrogen mean? Hydrogen is an invisible gas, and it does not smell. But why is there so much talk about different colors of hydrogen? It is because not all hydrogen is created equal. Hydrogen can be produced in a number of different...
The Clean Aviation Project
No, that is not really how it works. We are actually pursuing a more “down to earth” approach to solve a problem that could threaten the aviation industry in just a few years from now. Airplanes do pollute the atmosphere. The airlines have done quite a good job over...
Is the Time Ready for the Electric Aircraft?
The answer is a clear “Kind of…”. If you want a more detailed reply, maybe you should watch this video from AVweb VODCAST with Paul Bertorelli interviewing Dr. Pat Anderson of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3P0gASnWIo Years ago,...
