A passenger plane retrofitted with a hydrogen-powered engine completed its first flight on September 24. The six-seater aircraft completed a 19-mile demonstration around Cranfield Airport in England. • The aircraft was developed by ZeroAvia. The company told Storyful: “Hydrogen powered aircraft have flown before. However, those aircraft were demonstrator aircraft that were not designed to carry passengers. The retrofitted 6-seater Piper Malibu airframe used by ZeroAvia for yesterday’s flight is a type of aircraft that delivers passenger services around the world, showing passengers could be boarding a zero emissions aircraft in the years to come.” • Val Miftakhov, ZeroAvia’s founder, told Sky News: “What we’re doing is replacing fossil fuel engines with what’s called hydrogen electric engines.” • This footage shows the aircraft being prepared, before taking flight. • Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/2TwO8Gm • QUICKTAKE ON SOCIAL: • Follow QuickTake on Twitter: twitter.com/quicktake • Like QuickTake on Facebook: facebook.com/quicktake • Follow QuickTake on Instagram: instagram.com/quicktake • Subscribe to our newsletter: https://bit.ly/2FJ0oQZ • Email us at [email protected] • QuickTake by Bloomberg is a global news network delivering up-to-the-minute analysis on the biggest news, trends and ideas for a new generation of leaders.
