Video: Hydrogen fuel cell powered "jet" takes flight
We have recently been introducing you to some new toys powered by hydrogen. Now the same company that created those vehicles has collaborated on a project with the German Air & Space Center and a Swiss company working on building a fish-shaped jet. It seems that the team decided to first attack the design by creating an unmanned radio controlled plane. Although the video calls this vehicle a jet, I have been trying to do some research on the project, and this may be more of an electric impeller driven plane, and not a jet turbine. Still, some records appear to have been set regarding the size and power output of the fuel cell provided by Horizon Fuel Cell.
