The Vancouver-based aviation consortium, Canadian Advanced Air Mobility, is rejoicing over the success of the first-ever piloted hydrogen-powered helicopter flight in Canada. The experimental flight, conducted at the airport in Bromont, Quebec, by pilot Ric Webb under a permit from Transport Canada, utilized hydrogen fuel cells for 90% of the helicopter's energy. Video footage captured the helicopter hovering for over three minutes, with the crew celebrating upon its safe landing. Executive Director JR Hammond praised the achievement, stating that Canada is contributing to shaping the global future of zero-emission air mobility. Hammond highlighted that after about three years of testing, the consortium is now focusing on expanding to longer distance flights and plans to initiate commercial operations by 2028. He emphasized hydrogen's potential to transform the aviation industry, citing its availability in Canada and minimal environmental impact due to water vapor emissions. As demand for sustainable aviation energy rises, hydrogen emerges as a promising solution. The successful test flight marked a significant step towards utilizing hydrogen as a key energy source in aviation, promoting a greener and more efficient future for air travel.
