Lyte Aviation, a British start-up, has partnered with H3 Dynamics, a French firm specializing in hydrogen solutions, to develop a cutting-edge flying taxi named SkyBus. This innovative aircraft does not require a runway for take-off or landing, operating in a vertical mode similar to Joby Aviation. By utilizing hydrogen technology, Lyte Aviation aims to achieve a remarkable 1,000 km range. The partnership involves H3 Dynamics supplying a fuel cell and electrolysers tailored to aerospace requirements for on-demand hydrogen production. With 15 years of experience in the field, H3 Dynamics is well-equipped to provide efficient hydrogen infrastructure solutions. Lyte Aviation has already secured 23 pre-orders totaling £920 million and is expanding its portfolio with a cargo version called the SkyTruck. The founders of both companies express enthusiasm about transitioning eVTOLs from batteries to hydrogen, marking a significant step towards a more sustainable aviation industry. This partnership showcases a commitment to technological innovation and environmental sustainability in the aviation sector.
