Cranfield seeks funding to develop hydrogen-powered aircraft
Aerospace Solutions plans to raise £30 million ($37.19 million) this year to construct hydrogen-powered electric aircraft.
The UK-based business, which was established when Cranfield University was spun off, is in negotiations with a number of investors and plans to introduce the aircraft as early as 2026.
Cranfield intends to use the money to create a demonstration aircraft in the air and to begin developing the final product.
Paul Hutton, CEO of Cranfield Aerospace Solutions, stated: “It will give us runway until the end of 2024.”

Hoogeveen begins hydrogen distribution network construction
The development of a green hydrogen distribution system has begun in Hoogeveen. The new homes in Nijstad-East that are being constructed will soon have heating provided by this technology. The system can also be connected to houses that already exist in Erflanden. It is a significant accomplishment after years of planning.
In the Netherlands, the construction and conversion to hydrogen are relatively young. That is why there needs to be a lot of customisation in areas like technology, rules, and money.
