H3 DYNAMICS COMPLETES WORLD'S FIRST HYDROGEN AIRCRAFT PROPULSOR NACELLE
· Solution opens potential for medium to long-haul routes of 2500 km for 19 to 100 passenger aircraft · Distributed propulsor nacelles on the wings increase safety and free-up valuable fuselage space AUSTIN, Texas & TOULOUSE, France, Feb 11 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- H3 Dynamics has successfully completed the world’s first fully integrated hydrogen-electric propulsion aircraft nacelle, the core enabling power solution for propulsion of future hydrogen aircraft designs.

In the coming years, such a distributed hydrogen electric propulsion architecture could fly 19, 80 or even over 100 passengers, allowing airlines to cover medium and long-haul routes over 2500 km, beyond the short-haul flight distances targeted by emerging battery-based aircraft. Instead of a single centralized hydrogen fuel cell system, H3 Dynamics distributes multiple integrated powertrains incorporating batteries, fuel cells, hydrogen storage, and smaller electric motors across the wings. This means the size of each fuel cell system, hybrid battery pack, and heat management challenges all become smaller, making systems more manageable and safer.
