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.
