The Aerial Hydrogen Plane Concept · 2026 study
Our Air Division explores what hydrogen means for flight, collaborating with the University of Glasgow Aeronautics Society to design a hydrogen powered concept plane.
Our division focuses on innovation and collaboration.
A joint programme with the University of Glasgow Aeronautics Society. UGA leads the airframe and flying it; HFR leads the hydrogen power. Apply to an HFR sub-team here.
Lift, drag and surfaces for hydrogen powered flight.
A lightweight airframe that holds together.
Flight control, instrumentation and operating the aircraft.
Motors, propellers and the drivetrain for hydrogen flight.
The fuel cell, hydrogen storage and power management in the air.
Our two societies collaborate in sharing our expertise in aviation and hydrogen. UGA brings the aeronautics, we bring the fuel cells, and together we're working out how hydrogen flight can actually be done.
