H₂ Turbine — Mk III
Third-generation combustor achieving 92% cycle efficiency in ground test.
Operating Facets
The Verticals
Each vertical is an independent engine of regeneration — and a node in the same circular system. Filter by domain, step inside any facet, then follow the journey loop through the whole ecosystem.

Hydroelectric-Powered Airplane Engines
Rivers becoming runways. A fuel chain where mountain water becomes hydrogen, and hydrogen becomes flight without a trace.

Purpose
Mission
Prove that regional aviation can run on green hydrogen produced from surplus hydroelectric power — end to end, exhaust to source.
Vision
A commercial fleet whose only emission is water vapour, fuelled by rivers that would otherwise curtail.
Goals & Drives
Strategic goals
- 01Certify a regional-class H₂ turbine airframe by the early 2030s
- 02Close a fully renewable H₂ fuel chain at two pilot airfields
- 03Publish open blade and combustor geometry for university replication
What drives it
- Decarbonising the hardest-to-abate transport sector
- Turning curtailed hydro into a strategic energy carrier
- Building sovereign green-fuel capability outside fossil supply chains
