Elix Aviation, the international regional aircraft leasing company, has reported the delivery of one Dash 8-300, MSN 274, to Universal Hydrogen (USA). This aircraft is the first delivery from Elix Aviation to Universal Hydrogen and will be used as a test aircraft in the development of its hydrogen powerplant systems.
Universal Hydrogen is making hydrogen-powered commercial flights a near-term reality. The company takes a flexible, scalable and capital-light approach to hydrogen logistics by transporting it in modular capsules over the existing freight network from green production sites to airports around the world. To accelerate market adoption, Universal Hydrogen is also developing a conversion kit to retrofit existing regional airplanes with a hydrogen-electric powertrain compatible with its modular capsule technology.
