Swiss Company Partners with ETH Zürich on Sustainable Air Travel Initiative

Pilatus has partnered with ETH Zürich on a project to develop a hydrogen-powered propulsion system for light aircraft. The Cellsius association is also involved in the initiative. According to Pilatus, the project aims to promote sustainability in aviation. Students from ETH Zürich are researching the feasibility of using hydrogen in aviation, and if successful, the technology could be applied to Pilatus’ ‘Pilatus Class’ aircraft in the future. The project has been underway for three years and is currently focused on optimizing the electrical propulsion system.
