What the current evidence supports
Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28
Too early to adopt
- Why
- Maker's own timeline slipped a decade to 2040-2045 with a cancelled flight test and a ~25% budget cut — far outside any actionable horizon and gated on an external hydrogen ecosystem
- Next
- Track LH2 fuel-cell powertrain demonstrator milestones and any reinstated flight-test schedule; revisit when an EIS date inside 2040 is formally re-committed or a Western at-scale flight test resumes
