WOW! A Hungarian team works on building a brand new passenger drone! – video

A Hungarian team has been chosen as a technical development partner by Alakai’i Technologies for their vehicle named SKAI, the world’s first hydrogen-powered eVTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing), a passenger drone. The vehicle will be self-driving and environmentally friendly since it is moved by hydrogen motors, so it emits only water. 

The Genevation Aircraft Ltd. is operating near Jakabszállás (Bács-Kiskun County), and they believe that the Skai passenger drone is the future of transport. The prototype of the vehicle – built in cooperation with American companies – was introduced on January 22. The machine is designed to weigh 500 kilogrammes and will be able to carry 5 persons for 4 hours with a pilot or even in self-driving mode, 24 reported. The vehicle is going to be environmentally friendly because the six rotors are powered by hydrogen motors, so it only emits water into the atmosphere. Furthermore, there is no need for fossil or nuclear energy to charge the specially-designed batteries of the drone.

Here is a video about what the new aircraft will look like:

The prototype in Jakabszállás cannot take off yet, but the Hungarian company has the technology to build such vehicles in the future. The structure of the machine was designed and built by the Hungarian company, and it is hard-wearing but not too heavy at the same time. The American partner chose the Hungarian ltd because they are experienced in the field of how to make carbon, steel, or titan composites that are not only light but also strong.
