The first hydrogen-powered aircraft made a successful first flight:
The Piper M aircraft performed a taxi, take-off, flight circuit and landing while being powered by hydrogen.

Is the era of fossil fuel powered planes in its final years? It is possible, in any case the tests of aircraft powered by hydrogen are particularly promising. For many, hydrogen would indeed be one of the best ways out of the era of fossil fuels in aviation. A thought that the European aircraft manufacturer Airbus shares. He has just unveiled his hydrogen aircraft project, the ZEROe.

While the Airbus solution is still in its infancy, others are already getting started more concretely on a small scale. The company ZeroAvia has just completed the first flight of a commercial aircraft powered by hydrogen. The Piper M was able to taxi, take off, circle the air and land safely, all while being powered by hydrogen, ZDNet reports. A promising first flight for the sector and a "major breakthrough" for the aerospace industry, according to the manufacturer of the Piper M.

“While some experimental planes have flown using hydrogen fuel cells as a power source, the size of this commercially available plane shows that paying passengers could very soon board a truly emission-free flight,” Val Miftakhov said. ,
