"Flying bum" airship concept updated with motors powered by fuel cells alongside diesel engines

UK aviation company Hybrid Air Vehicles has updated its "flying bum" Airlander 10 concept with a lower-carbon version featuring electric motors powered by hydrogen fuel cells. The latest version of the airship will produce "75 per cent fewer emissions than conventional aircraft in similar roles," the company claimed. The aircraft, which will be able to carry 100 passengers on short-haul routes when it goes into production, will still feature two diesel engines. (www.dezeen.com) עוד...
