This Genius Airplane consumes Less Fuel than SUV

Let it to be happen

Great progress!

Way too early to introduce hydrogen power. Given the range is is not cost effective.

at some point elon musk will have had enough of this charade and make a full-size electric aircraft that costs less than anything out there.

An airship gets better mileage.

Imagine with a efective turbine with tath aerodinamic

This must be a wake up call to the big aircraft manufacturers... everyone is worried about the future and this looks like it has some important answers.

What about high-speed parachutes?

Is that City or Highway? :)

if you think fossil fuel usage is causing climate change you are misguided

Hate to break it to you but regular flight comercial flight is over 80mpg per passenger... You can decarb the planet by breathing in a paper bag... Clown shoes

Recent efforts to launch hydrogen rockets are often delay due to very hard to find hydrogen leaks. Perfect choice!

Great but could be more efficient with a Toroidal propeller.
Besides a rear prop makes landing and take off more challenging.

There is so much pessimism in Germany... I am delighted, that this concept proceeds. There are so many short-range flights in Europe. Good look and success for this gamechanging endeavor :)

Why is it so ugly looking ?

Ridiculous.

A diesel engine still makes the most sense. Diesel is available most anywhere on the planet.

Out standing !

A plane for the global elite after they have stopped you from flying - don't kid yourself

the decarbon bollox

And the pusher prop helps auite a bit as pusher props are significantly more efficient than conventional forward facing ones.

I have drawings from when I was about 8 years old of an aircraft I designed that looks like this one. Only that mine was propelled by 5 rocket engines at the back and had a Delta Wing.

The thing looks kinda like a tuna with wings.

Not only it consumes similar fuel to trucks it also named like one of them 👍

Sounds good but too bad it is not scaleable to 7xx/3xx sizes. I wonder why? And wont be here till 2025? Nuts.

I would definitely like to fly one of these 🎉

Make electric aircraft 😂

looks good got good range looks easy to fly

I'd fly the diesel model and I won't fly electric.

I'll take two! Free shipping I Wonder?

It looks like something someone made in kerbel space program

Still for the rich only! Not the everyday person!

Bull shit decarbonaisation - 0.04% since 150 years !! Forget Climatechange, it's fearmongering

Horse Hockey on your "Global Warming" and "de-carbonization" nonsense. It's a SCAM and every sane person knows it. But that doesn't mean that new, high efficiency aircraft aren't totally cool.

If the company can get FAA certification, as well as EAA certification, the aircraft offers great potential. Having said that, the last time I looked, the current price is pushing $4 million. Most people who operate a six-passenger aircraft are not able or willing to spend that sort of money. The CirrusJet is about the same cost, and it's available now.
Both aircraft will use Jet-A as fuel. Granted, the Celera will use less, but it's still two years away from certification and production, and we don't know where things are going to be there. The country is in decline, businesses are gone, and the money to spend on this tech is already being spent on current tech.
I think it's a great idea, but I'm not sure how well it's going to be received by those with four million dollars to spend on it.

Next thing, the aircraft uses laminar flow, which has been around for a very long time in aviation, but presents some challenges. The aircraft will have to be kept clean. Laminar flow is easily 'tripped', meaning it can be disrupted, which in this particular case can cause a substantial reduction in performance. The owner/operator will need to make sure the airplane is able to maintain the laminar flow.

Next, the hydrogen fuel system. This is great, being able to travel from L.A. to Seattle on a single charge of hydrogen with the only emission being water is wonderful. How many airports have a hydrogen storage system? None that I'm aware of. The only places for hydrogen refueling stations are California and Hawaii. None of the airports there support hydrogen refueling. The Toronto Pearson airport in Toronto, Canada is planning on installing a hydrogen fueling station, but only for ground vehicles. So, to use this airplane as a zero-emission vehicle, airports will need to invest millions of dollars to store and dispense hydrogen. There are huge dangers in hydrogen, as well, and if people forget, I suggest you look up the Hindenburg airship from the 1930s. We already have fuel spills on refueling, this is common. Imagine a fuel leak on a hydrogen-powered vehicle. Since it is a gas, it's harder to detect and easier to ignite.

If we can accept the risks, and overcome the requirements, and find an audience willing to shell out the required amount of money to own one, I think a Jet-A-powered version would be awesome. There might be ten or twelve sold in 2025/2026, but I don't know how many after that. Look to Beechcraft's Starship. A great airplane, ahead of its time that did not sell well and was discontinued because the aviation community was not ready to accept such forward-thinking design in aviation.

I have NEVER seen a bullet shaped like that. And you can't change the climate by changing CO2 production by the US and EU. In fact if youdo reduce CO2 enough to change the climate, hundreds of millions of people will starve to death. Please stop with the scientism. Build your electric plane AFTER the new nuclear power plants. Enough of the landscape is already blighted with windmills and solar farms. Think like human beings, not sheep.

I don’t know of ANY airports that have Diesel fuel.

I’ll stick to 51,000’ doing .93 Mach in the Citation X as I cruise well above the global warming BS being spewed by everyone else.

This looks amazing and very promising, good luck!

I bet the purchase price is more than an SUV.

Hint: When you mentioned global warming I stopped the video and gave you a thumbs down. Just sayin’.

Great aeroplane.

So much misinformation. No way this plane will fly for less fuel than an SUV. Scam.

Forget the hydrogen bs... And it has a useless payload.

Instead of our present governments requiring everything to become electric, they should be searching for and developing cleaner alternative flues, like hydrogen.

"Emission-free electric aviation." Emission-free big LOL.

Imagine this with the new propeller design

hahahahaha this is fake. It has not enough lift compared to the size. A good project to see how far people go in funding their own wished fantasies

I think these things are going to start around $5 million. I wonder if a smaller version ( 4 seater) that could do 200 mph and had greater wing surface area could get the price down to under $1 million. This would be a much larger market. 50 miles per gallon ?

Yes, I think at this point this can private and point-2-point aviation. I am excited and looking forward to more updates!
