Specifications for hydrogen-electric aircraft
Joby’s hydrogen-electric demonstrator is an improved version of the company’s prototype battery-electric aircraft. The aircraft is equipped with cryogenic fuel tanks that can store up to 88 pounds of liquid hydrogen at -420 °F. The H2F-175 fuel cell system, developed by Joby subsidiary H2Fly, generates electricity through an electrochemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen in the air to power the aircraft’s six rotors. Small batteries provide additional power during takeoff and landing.
