Swiss aviator Bertrand Piccard and his team are building a fully hydrogen-powered aircraft.
The project, titled Climate Impulse, aspires to make a non-stop flight around the world. In doing so, the team hopes to inspire a greener future for aviation. Piccard is a well-known figure in the sustainable aviation industry. In 1999, he and his copilot, Brian Jones, became the first to circumnavigate the globe in a hot-air balloon. The NTSB conducted an investigation of over 500 fatal and nonfatal accidents between 2010 and 2022. The study found several safety issues affecting a subset of commercial aviation operations that includes commuter air carriers, air ambulance services, air tour operators, on-demand business jet charters, and other operations. SpaceX has decided to reprogram the Dragon landings to splash down in the Pacific Ocean off Long Beach, California. The company explained the move is due to concerns over the module’s trunk section shedding debris during reentry. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne-Unlimited!!!
