A major milestone for the future of aviation: The first flight with our innovative hydrogen propulsion system!

08.11.2024 – TECCON energy

After more than two years of intensive research and development as part of our H2-Finity project, we successfully conducted the first flight with a gaseous hydrogen propulsion system on November 8, 2024, in Rotenburg. This system is based on a fuel cell that powers an electric motor – a significant step toward sustainable aviation technologies.

This achievement was only possible thanks to the collaboration with our incredible partners: mb+Partner, Thelsys, and ZAL – Center of Applied Aeronautical Research. We extend our heartfelt thanks for their active support and unwavering commitment. A special thanks also goes to the Hamburg Investment and Development Bank (IFB Hamburg) for funding the project through the GATE I program. Without this support, this success would not have been possible.

The past months have been marked by intensive testing and evaluations. From analyzing individual components to the complex integration into the drone, we have gained valuable insights for the future – whether in flight physics, cooling, electronics, or functionality. This successful maiden flight marks a significant milestone in realizing our vision.

Now, we look ahead with great motivation to the upcoming test phases and the final stretch of the project. A huge thank you to our entire team at TECCON Consulting & Engineering GmbH for their passion, dedication, and innovative spirit, which made this project a reality.
