Miami startup Sea Cheetah is developing hydrogen-powered wing-in-ground effect (WiGE) aircraft aimed at revolutionizing zero-emission coastal transport. These low-flying vessels, which operate just above the water’s surface, could travel much further and faster than electric boats without requiring FAA certification. By partnering with H3 Dynamics, Sea Cheetah plans to create a hydrogen generation and fueling network, enhancing range and quick refueling capabilities. The WiGE technology offers significant efficiency advantages, potentially allowing these aircraft to cover 2.3 times the distance of traditional aircraft on the same energy source. While specific details are still under wraps, the concept involves high-surface-area wings and large pontoons for hydrogen storage, promising a range extension that could make these vessels competitive against traditional air travel. Sea Cheetah's innovative approach could lead to a new era in sustainable transport. #Hydrogen #SeaCheetah #GroundEffect #Aviation #SustainableTransport #ZeroEmissions #Innovation #Aerospace #MarineVessels #WiGE

Results from flight testing the use of 100% blends of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in commercial aircraft have shown a reduction in the amount of soot and contrails they emit compared to conventional Jet A-1 fuel. The Emission and Climate Impact of Alternative Fuels (ECLIF3) study measured the emissions from 100% biofuel blends, also called sustainable aviation fuel , from both engines of an Airbus A350 powered by Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engines. https://lnkd.in/exrExpsK

🛬Exploring Hydrogen’s Future in Aviation! ✈️ Dr. Thomas Budd, Cranfield University’s new Associate Professor of Airport Decarbonisation, is on a mission to make aviation more sustainable. With a vision that hydrogen-powered aircraft could be flying within a decade, Thomas is leading efforts to decarbonize ground operations through Project #ZEGO (Zero Emissions Ground Operations). Hydrogen offers enormous potential for reducing aviation emissions, but the challenges are significant. From building the right refueling infrastructure to developing new regulations and standards for handling hydrogen safely at airports, there’s a lot of work ahead. Additionally, training staff to manage this fuel efficiently will be critical. Yet, the opportunity is even greater: hydrogen is the most viable option to decarbonize aviation, given the limits of battery technology. Ground handling is the first step toward demonstrating hydrogen’s potential and preparing for the future of zero-emission flights. The journey may be complex, but the reward—a sustainable future for air travel—is worth the effort. 🌍💡 Let’s push forward and make hydrogen the fuel that powers tomorrow’s aviation! #HydrogenAviation #Sustainability #Decarbonisation #ZeroEmissions #AviationInnovation #CleanEnergy #SustainableAviation #Hydrogen
