Hydroplane Offers Pre-Launch Waitlist for H2 Powerplants

All the Security, None of the Obligation

Hydroplane—the Los Angeles-based maker of hydrogen-powered aircraft engines—has announced that it will offer future customers positions on a no-obligation waitlist for its upcoming hydrogen fuel-cell aircraft powerplants. Interested parties are invited to visit Hydroplane’s exhibit booths (Hangar “D” booths 4055 and 4066) at EAA AirVenture 2022 in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.

Pilots and aircraft owners on the waitlist—though under no financial commitment—will be afforded first opportunity to purchase Hydroplane’s modular hydrogen fuel-cell powerplant and will receive regular updates on the company's progress toward its goal of flying a demonstrator aircraft powered by subject powerplant in 2023.

In small, Hydroplane is developing a novel, two-hundred-kilowatt, hydrogen-utilizing, electricity-producing propulsion system to replace conventional, fossil-fuel-burning piston-engines in currently certified, experimental, and future aircraft. Hydroplane’s light-weight, compact, highly-durable powerplant is designed specifically for single-engine aircraft. In addition to producing only water as a byproduct of its operation, Hydroplane’s powerplant delivers significantly better endurance than battery-powered alternatives.

Hydroplane CEO and former NASA engineer Dr. Anita Sengupta states: “Our fuel cell electric powerplant for single-engine aircraft is your opportunity to combat climate change, at altitude, by emitting only water. We are excited to now offer people the opportunity to be the first to transition to sustainable, carbon emission-free propulsion.”

Hydroplane is funded by the U.S. Air Force’s prestigious Agility Prime Program, a joint USAF/private-sector initiative to support commercial investment in electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) and other nascent aerospace technologies.

The Air Force’s focus on such gadgets, which have obvious military applications, derives in part of the Pentagon’s self-admitted failure to secure domestic production of small drones—a supply-chain the Department of Defense seeks to bring back to the United States.
