The aircraft that we are working with is a Sling 4, which is an airframe from a South African company, which has a max takeoff weight of about 920 kilos.
23:46
And we are retrofitting its integrated powertrain into a hydrogen electric powertrain.
23:53
The maximum thrust, we are going to be able to give us about 95 kilowatts.
23:59
And on the gaseous hydrogen architecture, we can take with us about 2.1 kilos of hydrogen, which gives us an operational range of... 150 kilometers or nearly 100 miles.
