Australia is set to achieve a major milestone in sustainable aviation with its first hydrogen-powered aircraft flight scheduled for 2024. Stralis, the Australian company spearheading the initiative, plans to conduct the inaugural flight during COP26, marking a significant step forward in the global push for greener air travel. The company aims to make hydrogen-powered flight a reality, with its Stralis B1900D model retrofitted to use hydrogen-electric propulsion.

The groundbreaking flight is part of a broader effort to reduce aviation emissions and promote cleaner energy sources in the aviation sector. Hydrogen-electric technology is being hailed as a game-changer for the industry, offering zero emissions during flight. By demonstrating the feasibility of hydrogen-powered aircraft, Stralis hopes to contribute to a more sustainable future for air travel, aligning with Australia’s goals to become a global leader in renewable energy and environmental stewardship.
This project is a key step toward achieving net-zero emissions in aviation, and Stralis is looking to revolutionise short-haul flights, with potential applications for both passenger and cargo services.
