Definition

The term, in context

AI-assisted draft · approved dataset

H2FLY builds a liquid-hydrogen fuel-cell powertrain for aircraft that stores hydrogen in cryogenic liquid form to pack more energy into a given tank volume than compressed gaseous hydrogen, then converts it to electricity in a fuel cell to drive electric motors and propellers. The only exhaust from the fuel-cell reaction is water vapor, making the powertrain a zero-carbon-emission alternative to burning jet fuel for short and medium-range flight.
