Piasecki Prepares To Step Up Testing Regime for Hydrogen-Powered Helicopter
Piasecki Aircraft's CEO and president, John Piasecki, provided a detailed PA-890 helicopter program update at recent Vertical Flight Society events.
Piasecki Aircraft aims to build and fly a full-scale prototype of its hydrogen-powered PA-890 helicopter in 2023. Before then, it will evaluate the high-temperature fuel cell technology provided by its partner HyPoint in an existing helicopter and will conduct extensive ground testing of the technology to be used.
