Boeing first hydrogen cell-powered aircraft

U.S. aircraft giant Boeing announced that they have successfully completed the test hydrogen cell-powered aircraft, which is the world's first use of hydrogen battery flight. The breakthrough will help promote the aviation industry, "green aircraft."

Boeing conducted a total of three times this year's successful test flight. For testing small two-seater propeller aircraft (pictured) weight 800 kg, body length 6.5 meters, wingspan 16.3 meters long. Flight time is only a pilot, relying on hydrogen battery to power in 1000 meters height to 100 kilometers per hour to fly about 20 minutes.

Hydrogen battery is installed in the test aircraft passenger seat, and stood beside the driver's seat of a diver using an oxygen tank similar. Hydrogen battery using hydrogen and oxygen combine to form water is generated when the energy, will generate environmentally sound steam, and can be a clean, renewable green "fuel cell."

Boeing, said the hydrogen battery rack up the flight time of 45 minutes, take off the battery still must depend on others to provide auxiliary power, but in the air when the battery completely on hydrogen.

Boeing chief technology officer, John. Tracy said:, "This is a precedent-setting aviation history, Boeing has been completed with hydrogen battery-powered manned flight. This development is the historic Boeing technical success ... indicates that more environmentally friendly future."

But hydrogen is hard to become a battery source of power for large commercial aircraft. Flight plan for Boeing engineers Rafael satisfied that the hydrogen battery for back-up power source large aircraft, "about 20 years later thing."
