What is Climate Impulse and what are its goals?
Climate Impulse is an innovative project that aims to circle the globe in 2028 using a lightweight two-seater aircraft powered by supercooled liquid hydrogen. Led by aviation pioneer Bertrand Piccard, the project's primary goal is to demonstrate the viability of hydrogen as a clean energy source for aviation. The aircraft is designed to complete its global circumnavigation with zero emissions, potentially revolutionizing sustainable air travel. With support from aerospace industry partners like Airbus, Climate Impulse represents a significant step toward decarbonizing the aviation sector, with test flights scheduled for 2026 before its nine-day non-stop journey around the world in 2028.
