How does the Climate Impulse aircraft aim to achieve zero-emission flight around the world?
The Climate Impulse aircraft utilizes green hydrogen produced through renewable electricity, which is then liquefied and stored in two large fuselage tanks. This innovative two-seater plane, piloted by Rafael Dinelli and Bertrand Piccard, aims to circumnavigate the globe non-stop over nine days while producing zero emissions. The design features a cockpit between the two massive fuel tanks, allowing sufficient hydrogen storage for the complete journey. By powering flight with green hydrogen rather than conventional fossil fuels, Climate Impulse demonstrates the viability of sustainable aviation technology that could revolutionize the industry's approach to decarbonization.
