The world's first manned hydrogen helicopter is in the works.
The world's first hydrogen -electric helicopter is underway and is currently ready to fly in .
A charismatic eVTOL and hydrogen energy team comprised of hydrogen fuel cell innovator HyPoint and Piasecki Aircraft recently signed a partnership to build the world's first manned hydrogen helicopter.
And if that wasn't enough, they will simultaneously be working on the development and certification of a hydrogen fuel cell system that can be added to any eVTOL on the market. The hope is to radically increase reachability.
The team plans to use HyPoint's latest air-cooled turbo hydrogen fuel cell system that features up to , watts per kilogram of power and a high energy density of up to , Wh/kg, which is a big step forward in terms of range capacity.
To put these numbers into perspective, today's traditional lithium-ion batteries (which most eVTOLs use) can reach approximately Wh/kg of energy density. As for the air-cooled hydro C Level Executive List gen system, regular liquid-cooled hydrogen fuel cell systems are three times lower in terms of power-to-weight ratio.

The agreement between HyPoint and Piasecki
Therefore, working with HyPoint technology, the team's current plan is to develop five Kh/kg hydrogen fuel systems, offering twice the power of the current ones, to power the winged rotor composite hydrogen helicopter. slow PA- eVTOL from Piasecki Aircraft.
HyPoint's systems must first undergo ground testing, demonstration flights and receive full certification, TechCrunch reported, and in the end, the entire system will have four times the existing energy density of current lithium-ion batteries, with a They cost up to percent less relative to the operating costs of turbine-powered rotorcraft and, as mentioned above, have twice the power of existing hydrogen fuel cell systems.
Once developed, Piasecki will exclusively license the technology, and HyPoint will retain ownership of the original hydrogen fuel cell technology, according to H View.

But once this is done, the system can be offered to eVTOL companies around the world. Given the push towards eVTOL technology, from single-seat eVTOLs to larger -passenger versions, it is clear that there is a large market for this technology.
Regarding the agreement between HyPoint and Piasecki Aircraft, the hope is that the first hydrogen fuel cell system will be delivered to Piasecki by , with the remainder expected to be fulfilled by the launch of the PA- helicopter.
