Maybe they should look into using the ultra-lightweight hydrogen tank from GTL/Hypoint. That could increase range significantly. Does it have a small parachute or a type of crash protection system (with rockets or something) to compete with the XTI trifan 600?
Hi, thank you for your comment. The environmental footprint of obtaining hydrogen can vary. If produced from renewable sources like wind or solar, it can be minimal. However, if produced from natural gas or other fossil fuels, the footprint can be significant.
Liquid Hydrogen? Why is no one using MgH2? Magnesium Hydride? It's light and you get three times the capacity as liquid without needing to cool to -275F ?
Using MgH2 (Magnesium Hydride) has challenges like slow hydrogen release rates and the need for high temperatures to release hydrogen, making it less practical compared to liquid hydrogen for certain applications.
In a hydrogen-powered business jet like the Sirius, the water produced from hydrogen combustion exits the engine as hot steam. At cruising altitudes of 20,000 to 30,000 feet, this steam quickly cools and can condense into water droplets or freeze into ice crystals, forming contrails (condensation trails) behind the aircraft.
There is a saying, Actions speak louder than words. Well, I have a better saying, Actions and results speak louder than words. I look forward to seeing this bird fly in 2025.
I like this project, looks like future. Hope it will fly. ❤
It must fly :)
When these guys progress some more, I will buy them
It will be cheaper to buy them now :)
@@aviapages I havent paid attention. Did they go BK? or crash?
so many aviation changers i saw came and went away and leave no change in last few years
All I see is some nice CGI and cool CNC parts. Great if it becomes reality, but thousands of these 'change the world' videos on YT.

No environmental footprint? What about the footprint of obtaining the hidrogen?

I saw several charging stations for e cars that were feeded by diesel generators. Thus my question
Where does the h2 come from? Natural gas? Electrolysis?
we dont ask questions like that here...
It’s crazy that this is made with BMW also it’s been more than 80 years since BMW stopped making plane engines
I would like to know more about the BMW Designworks and SAAB involvement.
MAKE IT BUILD IT SALE IT ....
SALE IT? U MEAN SELL IT? OR STALL IT?

It's a joke🎉?

Why not use Ammonia?
Siriusly?
It has to have at least 4 passenger seats, sad if it does not...
What happens to the water produced? I suspect at 20-30k ft its gonna freeze.

While every fligth ticket being charges for carbon tax,
How can PRIVATE JET has 0 footrprint??
Unreal.
Illium will have something to say about this. 😂
Sustainable 😅😂😅😂😅😂
:)
Considering how much hydrogen we produce as a waste product.. its very much sustainable.
It’s less than .50c per aeronautical mile that’s completely unheard of
well whoever invented this better look out for the fuel companies!
