Hydrogen-powered aerial taxi flies 523 miles long record flight
California: A hydrogen and electric air taxi in the United States has completed a record 523 miles of flight.
This flight was made in California in the last few days. At the end of the flight, only 10 percent hydrogen fuel was left in the aircraft and due to being environmentally friendly fuel, only water was released as waste.
This air taxi of Joby Aviation is the first hydrogen-electric aircraft of its kind to take off or land vertically.
Joe Ben-Beavert, founder and chief of Joby, said that air travel is central to human evolution, but it needs to find clear paths.
He said that the company's battery-electric air taxi has undergone a fundamental change in the way it travels in cities, now the company is developing a technology that can reshape regional travel using hydrogen-electric aircraft.
The company said that its air taxi will reduce the one-hour schedule in the car from Manhattan to JF Kennedy Airport to seven minutes.
