The HyFish jet , is the first jet entirely powered by hydrogen, producing nothing but water reports Wallpaper . The HyFish is a collaboration between six firms from Switzerland, Germany, China and the US, with assistance from scientists and Stuttgart's DLR Institute for Technical Thermodynamics.
'The HyFish is only possible as an unmanned aircraft right now,' explains Koni Schafroth, who runs the project's Swiss design company Smartfish. 'The hydrogen cell technology is probably unable to support commercial flight by itself, although it could be used for drones and spotter planes. You could combine the cell power with conventional flight technology to create a two-man aircraft that should use less fuel than a car while still reaching around 900km per hour,' he adds. 'And that is what we are developing at the moment.'
