The hydrogen-powered Tu-155 prototype made its first flight on 15 April 1988.. A hydrogen-powered aircraft is an aeroplane that uses hydrogen fuel as a power source. Hydrogen can either be burned in a jet engine or another kind of internal combustion engine, or can be used to power a fuel cell to generate electricity to power an electric propulsor.
HY4 is a four seat hydrogen fuel cell powered aircraft. It made its maiden flight on 29 September 2016 from Stuttgart Airport, powered by gaseous hydrogen.It was designed by DLR Institute of Engineering Thermodynamics of the German Aerospace Center, [2] [3] [4] based on the Taurus G4, manufactured by Pipistrel.
The Hyfish excited scientists and made history because it was the first fast plane with jet wings to fly with only a hydrogen fuel cell and its only power source. [2] It performed vertical climbs into the air, loops, circles, and various other aerial acrobatics and tricks while flying at extremely fast speeds reaching 124 miles per hour. [ 2 ]
