H3 Dynamics has successfully completed the world’s first fully-integrated hydrogen-electric propulsion aircraft nacelle, the core enabling power solution for future hydrogen aircraft designs propulsion. Instead of a single centralised hydrogen fuel cell system, H3 Dynamics distributes multiple integrated powertrains incorporating batteries, fuel cells, hydrogen storage, and smaller electric motors across the wings. This means the size of each fuel cell system, hybrid battery pack, and heat management challenges all become smaller, making systems more manageable and safer.In the coming years, distributed hydrogen electric propulsion architecture could become a reality in aircraft with the capacity to carry up to 100 passengers. This fact would make it possible for hydrogen aircraft to cover distances of more than 2,500 km, far beyond the short-haul distances planned for battery-electric aircraft.The company has announced that the new H3 Dynamics hydrogen propulsion systems will begin flight tests in France in the coming weeks.In 2018, H3 Dynamics filed international patents for large-scale distributed hydrogen propulsion and announced plans for Element One, a visionary hydrogen aircraft applying this technology.H3 Dynamics has been working on safety certification deadlines and entering the market with lower risk, reduced weight unmanned platforms, progressing step by step towards heavier and manned cargo platform
