Universal Hydrogen and Deutsche Aircraft Collaborate on Zero Emissions Regional Aviation

Universal Hydrogen, a company that fuels carbon-free flight, and Deutsche Aircraft, a new purpose-driven German aircraft Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), today announced a technological partnership to accelerate aviation's decarbonization, a global necessity in the battle against climate change. The two firms will collaborate to conduct a design study for Universal Hydrogen's modular capsule technology to be included in the Dornier 328 project.

The joint effort will look at the size and integration of modular capsule technology for hydrogen storage into aircraft structure and systems (including loading and unloading considerations); aircraft weight and balance; hydrogen cost (infrastructure and fuel); mission performance; and the design of a hydrogen logistics network. Furthermore, both Universal Hydrogen and Deutsche Aircraft will collaborate closely with regional and federal German authorities, as well as European Union organizations, on the study's development, manufacturing, and implementation.
