How did I miss this: First Hydrogen VTOL Aircraft
« on: June 28, 2024, 07:04:13 PM »
From Jan. 10, 24

Today, Swiss aviation startup Sirius Aviation AG, proudly unveils the revolutionary Sirius Jet – the world’s first hydrogen-powered Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) aircraft; crafted and designed in collaboration with BMW’s Designworks and Sauber Group. This marks a major milestone in sustainable aviation and highlights Sirius Aviation AG’s steadfast commitment to innovation, sustainability, and safety.

The Sirius Jet, an aviation game-changer, is a high-performance, zero-emission VTOL aircraft, propelled by a hydrogen-electric propulsion system. Leveraging jet aerodynamics with airplane and helicopter versatility, it achieves extended flight distances, impressive speeds, and high altitudes at near-silent levels. The Sirius Jet redfines excellence with unmatched cutting-edge technology, unique design, and precision engineering, setting a new industry standard.

In 2025, the Sirius Jet will take flight in two versions: Sirius Business Jet, tailored to private jet needs, and Sirius Millennium Jet, crafted for commercial aviation. A revolutionary leap that will reshape the global transportation industry.

The challenge is the power-to-weight ratio, but I am interested to see how this might be used in helicopters as well!
Just another RR spitdweeb '97-'01

If the enema's plane isn't flying like you expect, it isn't being flown like you expect.

But can it carry a three pound coconut? Since it's a question of weight ratios.

Forget the helicopter... assume swallows...

There is little information available on the carrying capacity of swallows, either African or European. But given the weight disparities involved, we can safely assume that even a team of swallows, utilizing some sort of makeshift litter devised of creeper vines woven together, would still be incapable of transporting a coconut over even short distances. Assuming, of course, that was something a group of swallows wanted to do.
