MAHEPA Hydrogen Fuel Cell Driven Hy4 Has Flown

Fascinating Technology Logs Some Air time

The MAHEPA consortium has confirmed the successful proving flight of an Hy4 aircraft.

In November 2020, despite the COVID19 repercussions and with all safety precautions in place, the Hy4 hydrogen powered hybrid-electric aircraft successfully flew from Maribor airport, in Slovenia, achieving a milestone for the MAHEPA project.

By demonstrating technologies and showcasing that long-endurance and safe zero-emission flights are possible, MAHEPA reports that they are creating the technological foundation to enable clean, quiet, safe and sustainable flight – making Europe Green Deal’s goals related to aviation one step closer to reality.

With the renovated and optimized fuel cell system technology developed in MAHEPA and in cooperation with multiple national projects, the Hy4 became the most powerful hydrogen fuel cell driven aircraft ever made. First qualification tests and data dissemination show that the fully redundant Hy4 powertrain architecture allows an upscaling of the modular technology.

MAHEPA consortium of Pipistrel Vertical Solutions, Compact Dynamics, DLR, H2Fly, Politecnico di Milano, TU Delft, University of Maribor and University of Ulm is again demonstrating a direction towards cleaner air transport in Europe.
