Swiss Manufacturer Partners with ETH Zurich on Zero-Emissions Project
Pilatus, in partnership with the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich), is supporting Project H2, a research initiative focused on developing a hydrogen-powered propulsion system for light aircraft. The project, which has been underway for over three years, aims to achieve sustainable aviation with zero-emission flights. The ‘Sling High Wing’ aircraft is expected to fly for up to 2 hours with a range of 186 miles. The partnership will provide valuable insights into fuel cell systems and potentially inform future developments. The project’s success could demonstrate the feasibility of sustainable aviation solutions, potentially influencing industry-wide adoption. This project is supported by the Cellsius association and is part of ongoing efforts to promote sustainability in aviation. The project’s findings will be published in the coming years.
