I wonder how similar the technology is to that used by Toyota Mirai. Having enough power density (fuel cell) and energy density (compressed H2), the aircraft application seem logical... but there surely are lots of details.
- greglindahl 7y agoThe Mirai seems to have had a huge cost problem that the fuel cell cost a lot more than Toyota thought it would be by the time the car shipped. So they used a small one with poor peak performance, and it's a much less exciting car than an electric car, but still costs extra and has annoying refueling. Planes need a lot of peak power for takeoff.
- rad_gruchalski 7y agoThere is a new Mirai planned for 2021. Also, Bosch and BMW seem to be recently looking into fuel cell technology.
